I started this blog to keep my friends and family informed about my progress with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). I was diagnosed with CML on March 3, 2006 after having some blood work ordered by my ophthalmologist. I am going to be tracking my progress throughout my treatment. I invite you to comment.

Light the Night 2010 and updates
The annual Light the Night Walk in Providence is quickly approaching. This is the 5th year of our participation and it has been a wonderful experience. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is a great organization. It has helped me and many other with blood cancers in incredible ways.
This year's event will be held on Saturday night, September 25, 2010 at Lippitt Memorial Park in Providence, RI. The opening ceremony starts at 6:30 and the walk begins at 7. It is about a 3 mile course. For those who have not seen it before, it is very powerful. There are about one thousand people walking down Blackstone Boulevard with lit balloons all in an effort to raise money for this great organization.
There are a number of ways to participate. You are welcome to donate to me or any of my team mates. You may go to my site (Light the Night Page). Any donation is appreciated.
If you are interested in walking, you may sign up as a walker on the same site. On the top banner, it reads "Walk with Us". Please feel free to email me with any questions as well.
In terms of other news, my PCR test came back with excellent results again. My number keeps going down. The level was 0.0008. Excellent news even on a lower dose of medication.
