Many of you read my post a few weeks ago about our grandson, CJ, and his fight with Stage 3 Cancer. Acute lymphoblastic lymphoma. Right away you posted so many comments, prayers and good wishes. We made a seperate folder for CJ while he was in the hospital and he was so happy and pleased that so many "big guys" would take the time to write to a little boy. While at home he has been answering lots of emails and letters. His Dad told him recently to take a break and come play xbox. He replied that in a few years no one would remember the xbox games but that the emails and letters would mean a lot. (Remember that he is 9 years old).
He has been going 3 times a week for 5 hours of chemmo, shots, spinal taps and treatments. In a couple weeks we will have a scan to see what is happening so far with the tumors.
My daughter has purchased some Pray for CJ bracelets to help with his extra expenses. I am coming to the Cobra Community and asking you guys to purchase one. Not only does it help his expenses, it helps his spirit. I am asking $5.00 for one but you can give whatever you can or if you want one for free please email your address to me and I'll send you one. You can either purchase through our website at
www.finishlineaccessories.com in the new items section, email me or go to my daughter's blog at
www.georgefamilyblog.com and pay through pay pal. If you do that please in the comment section mention that you are one of the cobra guys. Also, if you go through the blog, please scroll down and read a little about CJ and some of his poems.
My daughter's friends, church and family have come through for CJ. Now I want to introduce them to the Cobra Community! Many heartfelt thanks for everything. For myself, I ask nothing, for my Grandson, I'll ask anything.

Finish Line
P.S. Last night his hair finally started falling out in the tub. His comment was that at least we know the medicine is working!
