| Me with John Hanna |
I met my friend, John Hanna (age 38), when I came to NYC in November. In 2007 he was diagnosed with tongue cancer, which can be a complication of FA. Unfortunately, John passed away a few weeks ago after a long battle with head, neck and throat cancer. John was a huge inspiration to all of the FA community and will really be missed. Please be in prayer for his wife, Racquel, and their two daughters during this difficult time.

I also met Edwin (age 27) when I came to NYC in November. He had been diagnosed with MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome) and had a bone marrow transplant mid November. His transplant went well and he got to go home. But, he has been back in the hospital for over two months now battling CMV (Cytomegalovirus) and some other complications. Please continue to be in prayer for him and that he will be able to leave the hospital soon! He is engaged to a beautiful girl named Yalitza and they just celebrated their five year anniversary!
