For My Friend Barney
For My Friend Barney
Originally uploaded by Splinter Group. I posted this picture on FLICKR on Oct. 3rd with the following explanation:
For my dear friend Barney who is fighting bone marrow cancer. I wanted to show him that people care and are rooting for him. Please help me show support in the fight against cancer. Barney is currently undergoing a bone marrow transplant - a particularly stressful process, including both chemotherapy and radiation therapy, that requires considerable BRAVERY to endure.
Please upload this photo to your own photo stream to show your support for Barney and the thousands of others who have bone marrow diseases and tag it with BRAVERY.
Oh, yeah - I have just been diagnosed with Myelodisplasia myself. With luck, I will NOT have to undergo bone marrow transplant myself.
If you are able to donate to this worthy organization, I urge you to do so. I am not connected with it in any way.
