"I'm a nobody. I'm not a famous personality or a world-class athlete. I have no money, no influence and no hair.  In short, I'm just like you.

Yet I am the new face of Cancer. I've looked the beast in the eye, and I'm here to tell you what I saw. Walk with me through the strange and scary desert called survival."

Thanks to everyone who made the Benefit Auction for Patch and Cookie a great sucess. If you could not attend but would still like to help with their medical expenses, you can donate via Paypal through September 11, 2008 - Patch's 42nd birthday.
