Dear Friends,
We are finally going home after 7 weeks in isolation, though Lindsey will go back and forth to the hospital every other day for outpatient testing, medicines and transfusions. Please continue your donations of blood and platelets as her treatment/recovery period will be ongoing for the next six months to a year.
As you know, Lindsey has been battling Leukemia since April of 2005. Today, after overcoming innumerable challenges, hospitalizations, and a stem cell transplant, we as a family are asking you to help us give back to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in Lindsey’s honor.
You have all played a huge role in our fight to date by so generously donating blood and platelets, supporting our search for a stem cell donor, as well as your expressions of concern and encouragement. Thank you!
Our Doctors at MSKCC are currently working on numerous investigational approaches, by means of clinical trials, to improve the treatment of AML. For example, they are working to refine combination chemotherapy, investigate new transplantation approaches, and identify what causes Leukemic cells to multiply.
We would like to raise funds in honor of Lindsey and her amazing attitude as she bravely fights this terrible disease. All gifts will be directed to the ongoing research conducted by the team of doctors who have treated Lindsey.
Please mail all gifts to:
Katie Kotkins
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
633 3rd Avenue, 28th Floor
New York, NY 10017
Katie is also available to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact her directly at (646) 227-2511 or kotkinsk@mkscc.org.
We hope that you will join us in this effort and thank you again for all of your support during this challenging time.
Warmest wishes,
The Brass Family
