Dear Friends & Family -
Last night the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society held its annual Light the Night walk on the campus of UCLA. The two mile walk, designed to raise both money and awareness of our ongoing fight against cancer was attended for the first time by Team JW. While the final number is not in, it appears that we raised between $3,000 - $4,000.
While we know that not everyone who wanted to attend the walk could be there, Team JW was well represented. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated or just called in with their support. A special thank you to Deb Kadish and David Nemetz for helping organize the team and to those whose companies had matching funds.

Dear Martha and the White Family,
While I did not know Judah, I have read much about his struggle on this site and about your brave and tough fight together with him against the disease and death.
I send you my deepest sympathy and I sincerely feel that we may intuit how a good soul like Judah travels possibly long and deep through many other planes.
Yes, the grief and loss is devastating here but please think also that perhaps others now may be knowing his powerful presence and energies too.
Baruch Ha'Shem.

Judah,
Today is a special day. We pray with you...and we remember with you. The memories we shared are the golden moments, we - here on Earth - still cling to. Today we share with you, in God's love, and relive the precious memories that you gifted to us during your time here on Earth. On this day especially, I cling to the moments we shared... when I finally accepted the reality that you might be leaving us to be with God...I began to think back...and so many memories began to surface that had been lost to the fog of time. They are your gift to me, and a connection no amount of time, space, or any plane of existence, can steal away. Diamonds...that allow me to be with you still...until we meet again my most beloved brother.
Kuddo's to everyone who helped raise funds for such an important cause! Imagine the walk was a beautiful one full of unity, and warm thoughts of Judah. So missed being there! Every time I'd walk by the nursing station on Peds at UCLA, those brochures for the event stared me in the face.This huge feeling of guilt came over me knowing I'd be overseas, and unable to participate "live".
Please let me know how I can help with gathering donors for future stem cell screenings.
Recently, there was a young girl followed by our hem/oncology team that had a sign posted on her door about becomming a possible stem cell donor...I felt so good inside telling her mother that I had recently been screened (for Judah), and vowed to continue getting the word out to people as much as possible.
Am happy to help however I can.
May comfort and love continue to surround you as the days move forward,
Coco
