Spiderman Fights Cancer

So, my cousin Morgan has a toddler named Austin who recently was diagnosed with APML Leukemia. Although this has been very hard for Austin and his family, his prognosis is good. Through modern cancer research, doctors have discovered that chemotherapy combined with a Vitamin A regimen is a very effective treatment in fighting cancer in young children. Because Austin is going through chemo and therefore immuno-suppressed, he can't have visitors most of the time. Austin's father, Aaron has been keeping a blog of Austin's progress at http://www.spidermanfightscancer.com/

There will be a fundraiser/race for Austin and his medical bills on 8 November 2008. It's a 5k that I will be running and information about it is here: http://web.me.com/aaronshamy/Spiderman_Fights_Cancer/5K_Run_Walk.html
