Life at The B+ Foundation has been very busy lately…sorry for being so delinquent with my updates.
Andrew’s 21st Birthday!
September 3rd…This is a day with such mixed emotions. September 3, 1992 was one of the three happiest days of my life.

On Friday, we celebrated. Quietly. On Friday, my mom had her LAST chemotherapy infusion.

I’d like you to meet 2 year old, Brody. He looks like a really healthy little guy, doesn’t he? Brody was diagnosed with leukemia the day after Mother’s Day this year.

The world of childhood cancer seems to elicit emotions at both ends of the spectrum…and not so much in the middle.

Thank you for the nice comments about Chris’ video that was posted earlier this week.
A Message from Andrew’s Mom
Chris’ video needs no introduction. I would be remiss, though, if I did not say how proud I am of Chris and how much I admire her courage and selflessness.
Mon. June 3rd
Last night, Chris, Ali, and I had the privilege of attending the Philadelphia premiere of B+ Hero, Rina Goldberg’s movie.

If you didn’t get a chance to read Ali’s update from Wed. May 8th, you might find it worth your time. I’m obviously biased, but she expresses herself so well and I think you’ll find her insights very interesting.
