My Daughter's Battle with Leukemia

As some of you may already know my 5 year old daughter Kahlea was diagnosed with Leukemia last Wednesday (2/10/2010.)

As of today, Kahlea has received 2 chemotherapy treatments and she will undergo a 2 1/2 year chemo treatment regiment. Her body has responded favorably and we are expecting her to recover just fine.

The reason I am sharing this with you is not to gain your pity but to let you know how having the right knowledge can be a powerful weapon in a situation like this.

Over the past 14 months since my involvement with MonaVie, I have been exposed to a vast array of wellness knowledge which I never would have paid attention to prior. I also learned some basics of what cancer is about and how to help our body prevent and combat the growth of cancer cells. When the doctors dropped the bombshell on us that our precious daughter's bone marrow exam proved positive of Leukemia, we were extremely saddened by the discovery but we were NEVER frightened by it. We know the doctors will have to bombard her little body with powerful drugs but we are also prepared to do everything we can to repair her healthy body cells with good nutrition and strong prayers.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. As some of you may be going thru different challenges in your lives, just be reminded that the toughest battles are in our minds.

I am grateful to God that MonaVie was introduced to me over a year ago. I am grateful that thru my involvement with MonaVie I now have a great network of friends who share the same passion and love for people.

I will be at our team meeting tomorrow (Tuesday @ 7PM) at 257W34 in midtown NYC and I look forward to seeing many of you there!

Thank you for keeping Kahlea and my family in your prayers.
