Dillon
submitted by his parents Ila and John

Our son just celebrated his 6th birthday May 25th and has been battling
cancer since he was 1 year old. He relapsed and had to have a bone marrow
transplant two years ago and wasn't expected to survive for more than 2
years. We just passed that marker and are obviously grateful for every
day.

His full story and pictures can be seen at www.geocities.com/bashcancer
Edmonton and Calgary TV stations followed his story to help raise awareness for donors.

This picture was taken just days before we found out the cancer was back and spreading quickly.

This picture was taken when he finished chemotherapy induction for second time (6 mos of treatment) and he had lethal chemo the following month in order to kill his own bone marrow to prepare for transplant of the donor bone marrow.

This is Dillon a year after transplant and much how he looks today. If he's smiling, we can all smile.

We will let friends and associates know about your journey and encourage
people to support. Good luck and please let us know if you do use Dillon's
picture and we will post the information on his web site if ok with your
group.
