Coop Cup

As some of you may remember, my childhood friend, Clint Cooper was diagnosed with a brain tumor not too long ago. The tumor is labeled Anaplastic Astrocytoma Grade III, the same type of tumor Daniel was diagnosed with in June of 2005.

Clint had brain surgery back in March and just recently finished 6 weeks of radiation therapy and oral chemotherapy. The treatment thus far has been very successful and Clint feels wonderful given the circumstances. They, (and I say they, because his caregiver and fiance, Amanda is going through this just as much as he is), will continue with chemotherapy over the next several weeks. They will continue to also get follow-up scans to monitor the tumor and the therapy progress. I request your prayers for both Amanda and Clint as they continue to fight this battle and plan for the happiest day of their lives - their upcoming wedding day! :)

In order to raise funding and awareness for cancer research some friends are putting together and hosting a golf tournament in July. For those of you in the Rochester, New York area that might be interested in either playing in the tournament or helping out (they need many volunteers) check out the Coop Cup website and consider helping this great cause. Also, for those of you not in the area, check out the website and consider making a donation towards this cause.

Thank you for your continued prayers!
