| Lee Roy was diagnosed with Cancer in January of 2004 and is currenty receiving treatment at Southwest Regional Cancer Center in Tulsa Oklahoma. He is scheduled for his second round of Chemotherapy on March 2. The urgency to help this couple is great. They view this fight against cancer as a mountain to climb but one that is not impassable. Alice says their motto is: "Dont Give Up. Stand Strong and Have Faith." Your prayers are greatly appreciated. The care being received at Tulsa has led Alice to confide to me, "I am so glad we are here. It is where Lee Roy needed to be and we are so blessed." |
