Thank YOU!

Alexis wanted to thank each one of you who took time to join us at our Fun Night at Fat Cat's Fundraiser! Part of the battle with any cancer patient is keeping up hope and a good attitude. While this has never been Alexis' issue, seeing all the family & friends come out for an evening of fun contributed to feeling a little happier, a little more joy, a little more blessed for both Alexis and her family. Alexis made the comment, "it wasn't even just my mom and dads friends, there were a lot of my friends and family!" And Corbin was quick to point out how when both friends & family gets on board they can really make an impact.

And to those who took time to donate & buy things that night, we especially thank you. Our totals so far are in the thousands of dollars. There are many things to worry about in a day when you have cancer, but this money will certainly aid in curing some of those worries.

So thank you for bringing your smiles, you money, and yourselves. Without you it would not have been an evening worth remembering. As Oprah once said, Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. Thank you for being the friend who is there through the thick and thin.

Below are just a few pictures from the evening, I am sure Alexis will have more to post later with lot's and lot's and lot's more (some of those are on facebook).

Decal Fundraiser

Tina Salmon is working hard to look for ways to help Alexis.
Her newest endeavor are $10 decals!
Above is a picture of what the decal looks like (minus the gray 5 in upper left corner). You can put these latex decals on just about anything, and they peel away without leaving a mark behind. Whether it is a picture frame, a car window, a house window, a laptop, a wall, a tile, a door...you get the idea. They are a marvelous way to show support for Alexis, and ALL the money goes towards the Alexis Kaufusi non-profit Cancer fund to help pay for her medications. Each decal is $10. Thank you to Tina Salmon for putting this together!

Just a quick story to share. After Alexis' first chemotherapy treatment you probably all remember how NOT well she felt. She could hardly make it back up to SLC for her appointment the day after she was sooooo sick. She had a number contributing factors, so they adjusted a few of her medications. Treatment #2 went much, much better with symptoms that were normal for a post-chemo patient. One of the medications that contributed to Alexis feeling better was a tablet that she took just 2 times when she got home (that's 2 pills). However, this tablet, after insurance, cost hundreds of dollars....per pill. These are the kinds of things that the money raised will be helping Alexis to pay for.

If you would like to purchase a decal:
Contact Tina Salmon at 801-722-5313
(She says that if you know where she lives you can stop by and pick them up.)
Days Market in Provo
For SLC residents feel free to email me at markhillmax@comcast.net and I can arrange to get decals to you.
If you live outside Utah & SL counties, call Tina and we can arrange to mail one to you, but we will need to tack on a postage fee (sorry).

The love keeps pouring in, each individual making a big difference each day.
