We need help please

A long-time friend of mine has a daughter named Lindsey. She is now 19-years old. A year ago, she was diagnosed with malignant schwannoma, a cancer that forms in the lower half of the body usually. She went through a round of chemo, radiation and surgery and they managed to remove the cancer from her leg. Now, they have found that her cancer has spread through her bloodstream and into her lungs. She's so very young. She has a VERY long uphill battle with this, as 5-year survival rate is considered unlikely. The fact that she is so young will work to her advantage here, but she needs to know that there are MANY people on her side now as she fights for her life.

This is a card drive. I have the name and address of this beautiful young lady and I would LOVE if you all could please send her a card to let her know she's not alone in all of this. I think it will really lift her spirits and give her the strength she needs to fight this terrible disease!

If you'd like to send a card to Lindsey, please e-mail me at andis@tds.net and I'll be more than happy to give you the address to send an encouraging card to.

Please please...help if you can, she really needs it!

Thanks so much all,
Andi
