Thank You

We’ve done it!! Phase one of Eric’s Fight has been accomplished! Thanks to your generous donations, we have raised enough to write the $32,889 check for Eric’s consultation at MD Anderson! We are all moved beyond belief by the outpouring of love and support. Please check the blog for updates from Texas.

*Update – as of February 1st, approximately $45,000 has been raised!!! The balance (minus the consultation fee) is in the bank – and will be used towards Eric’s chemo treatment (if not entirely covered by OHIP) and the tests (bloodwork, EKG, MRI etc.) to be done when we go back to MD Anderson (tentatively set for March)

A huge thank you to Lyndsay Walker from Digital Always Media – for generously donating her time in assisting with the more challenging aspects of coding this site.

*Update – November 7th, 2012. After a small balance owing is paid to MD Anderson and the account is closed –  I will post the amount of the check being donated to fibrofoundation.org in Eric’s name. At this time, I will also blog a bit more about this great non profit charity and it’s work.

Thank you
*Team Eric*
