Project Michelle - May 12, 2008

WWW.PROJECTMICHELLE.COM

Michelle is 26 years old.
Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in February 2007, Michelle underwent chemotherapy for seven months but
relapsed in May 2008. She now needs to find a bone marrow match to save her life. You could be that person.

What you can do to help Michelle or others like her.
The first step in becoming a hero requires a cheek swab and ten minutes of your time. If you are a match, the transplant can often be done entirely through the blood. We have less than a month to find a match for Michelle. The outcome is simple -- someone lives because of your donation. You could be the one to save Michelle, or one of thousands of other people like her.

Your generosity knows no bounds.
We cannot express in words our immense appreciation for everyone that has registered. Team Michelle has been working around the clock organizing bone marrow drives around the country to find Michelle a match. With each person that registers, we are one step closer to saving the life of someone in need. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU.

how does someone dislike this?

After a valiant 2-year battle, Michelle passed away on July 25, 2009. She is missed by her family and friends everyday. To the other cancer patients out there: Do not lose hope. Every patient is different and there have been many success stories.

Hi michelle I'm christian here in london, have faith in God and I wish you all the best keep on fighting. By the way my wife has been diagnosed of AML 3 days ago (january 27, 2010, worst day of my life) so I also need all the support i can get also. I believe that AML can be cured positively and just trust in God.

Hi Michelle. I was diagnosed with AML also near the end of october. i've been thru 3 rounds of chemo. They are going to test my siblings to see if any of them are a bone marrow match on Feb 9th or 10th. I was doing research & came across your video. How are you doing now? Did you get a donor. Did you have alot of nausea problems? I will check back if I can. Take care. HUGS.

Dearest Michelle, with your permission, I'd like to post your webpage (found thru J&Kate+8) spread the word and try to find a donor for you! I have an auto-immune disease so unfortunately I cannot donate -- but I can most certainly recruit! As a side note, I work for the largest non-profit cancer org in the world and talk to people all the time who get through this... even advanced AML. I am 27 years old and live in Austin, TX. Please feel free to message my anytime. All my love, ~R.Michelle
