A3M Gala Dinner Event
A3M's Annual Gala Dinner Event is Saturday, October 5th. If you can support this event, please see information below to purchase tickets and attend this special program. I've been asked to speak at this event and can really use your support. A3M has opted to skip the dinner/concert format this year. We have a program which surely will be memorable including a first time patient-donor meeting. I can't wait for this one. There will also be survivor stories as well as stories from those still searching for their donor/lifesaver.

Scott Graduation & City of Hope Bone Marrow Transplant Reunion

| Scott & Andrew |
Graduation, May 2013
These are our two strapping sons, Scott & Andrew. Scott graduated with his BS in Mechanical Engineering in December 2012, but walked in the Spring Graduation Ceremony for his parents sake. Thank you Scott. Since graduation, he has been working as a Mechanical Engineer in the oil and gas industry.
Andrew is pursuing his BS in Nursing and is hoping to obtain nursing internships during this fall semester. He is studying hard and will make a wonderfully caring and understanding nurse. He became interested in nursing during my battle with cancer.

City of Hope Bone Marrow Transplant Reunion
This event is always a memorable one. Pictured here are special people including my doctor, nurse practitioner and my fellow survivor friend, Michelle.
You will see in last years Transplant Reunion posting, a photo of our fellow transplant friend, Jerome. We were deeply saddened by his passing a few months ago. It is my understanding that complications with pneumonia were to blame. He will be sorely missed.
Life continues to keep us busy. Mark is busy at work and had a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Kenya working with two other dentists on a dental mission trip with our church, Catalyst Christian Community.
We have lived in our home for over 21 years. The kitchen and house has begun to fall apart. We are planning on remodeling the kitchen. I can survive cancer and a bone marrow transplant. The real question is, can I survive a kitchen remodel? Anybody want to donate some appliances, funds, flooring or granite? Just throwing it out there, you never know. I will post updates on this project if we ever get started. lol.... to be continued...
Thank you for checking in on me.... Blessings to all, nancy
