Chemo Ninja Supporters

I've been looking online to see what I can find and who I can find that is liking and wearing Chemo Ninja Cancer Assassin Gear.  Here is what I've found so far.  If you have Chemo Ninja or Save the Twins gear I'd love to see it and share it here.  Thank you for your support and I hope that either you or the one you know battling cancer are blessed in every way.  Let us know how your fight is going.

Chemo Ninja Shirts Sent to Those Fighting

So over the last several months we have been trying to be more involved as a whole with others who are fighting the good fight and those who have our love for all things ninja!  I have been sending people I find on-line Chemo Ninja shirts.  I am hoping the shirts encourage and let's them know that they are being thought of by a larger group of people than just those directly around them.  I hope that all involved know that it's not just family and freinds who care.  I hope that you can support these families and share their stories.  These are some of the families we've sent things to.

Christmas for Kelli...

I may very well be one of the worst bloggers ever.  One post ever couple of years doesn't boad well.  However I did have some updates that I thought were worth sharing.  This past Friday 12/12/14 was a big deal for me personally and for Chemo Ninja Cancer Assassin.  I went to my oncologist for my 7 year check up from my end of chemo back in  2007, it also marked 10.5 years since my original diagnosis in July of 2004.  My oncologist told me that he didn't want to see me any more!  Basically unless I feel I need to get checked out for something I might be worried is cancer related I don't need to go back to the Cancer Center.  No more blood draws, X-rays, CT Scans, or doctors visits!!!  So I'm excited about that. 

Two years ago Chemo Ninja helped a family through Let There Be Mom.  We did it again this year!  In 2012 we helped Kelli Rogers and her daughter Ashante.  We were able to reconnect with Kelli and Ashante this year.  We brought Kelli and Ashante the items that many people purchased or contributed to generously.  They were very excited, happy, appreciative and grateful.  Ashante's eyes were huge as we brought in all the gifts.  Kelly teared up as I carried in the microwave, as it was greatly needed.   

I spoke with Kelli for a while and she updated me on her situation, it isn't looking good.  Kelli finished her Chemo a month ago but she's had a few issues since then.  Kelli's eyes have been causing her problems, as she has lost her sight twice and with some additional medicine it has been restored. She has what I would describe from my experience with chemo as chemical burns that have caused discoloration and dryness in her skin.  She seemed to be in good spirits considering. Kelli's physical condition didn't allow for the taking of pictures, but her appreciation was evident.  Kelli said thank you many times, and Ashante couldn't get the smile off her face.  

Please continue to pray for Kelli and Ashante for God's hand to work in their situation.  Thank you so much for your help in helping this family.  It means a great deal to them and to me.  

Thank You, 

Merry Christmas,

Late Christmas Update!!!

Well let me start by saying I'm sorry for having not up dated you on what happened over Christmas, New Years, MLK Day, Ground Hogs Day, Presidents Day, Valentines Day, any other obscure holiday that has happened over the last 3 months but between illness and busyness I didn't have many opportunities to do so.


We delivered your Christmas contributions to the family the Wednesday before Christmas. All the kids we well taken care of with essentially a whole new winter wardrobe, winter coats, PJ's, and shoes. All the kids received at least two nice toys as well. We were able to provide Kelli with the items that she had requested as well which we hope allow her to enjoy the long walks she loves so much. The rest of your donations went to restaurant gift cards for the family. Our final donation was a last minute surprise but McKinney Dodge provided a brand new set of tires for the family car!

I would like to thank everyone who participated and helped us help Kelli and her family. I would like to also note the businesses that have helped us along the way.

The Howard Firm http://howardlawgville.com/
Tropical Chicken Grille www.facebook.com/TropicalChickenGrillSC
Fried Green Tomatoes http://southernfriedgreentomatoes.com/
Tony's Pizza http://www.tonyspizzaandsubssc.com
McKinney Dodge www.mckinneydodge.com/

We have been so busy with our personal lives that we haven’t had the opportunity to help others the way that we need to. If you’re willing and able please send your donations to continue to help families in need.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

I am writing to update you on some exciting progress with Chemo Ninja. At some point or another, you have been supportive of my desire to create an organization that assists people currently battling cancer. You may have purchased a shirt or just been on the long list of people who I've talked with about it and what I hope to accomplish through this ministry. As most of you know, Chemo Ninja comes straight from my heart. My battle with cancer would have been financially devastating without the support of family and friends who loved us and were caring enough to give freely in our time of need. It is my intense desire to not forget the many difficulties faced at a time like that, and how it affects not just your medical bills, but medication costs, childcare expenses, loss of income, travel for medical care, etc. Christmas makes this even more challenging to these families. We have finally begun moving forward with the progam and I am looking to see who among you is willing to offer assistance to a family in need at this holiday season.

We are currently working in conjuntion with Let There Be Mom - www.lettherebemom.org - and they have found a local family that is battling cancer and in need of our assistance. How much we are able to help will depend on you! Kelli Rogers is a 25 year old leukemia fighter, and 3 weeks ago she received a bone marrow transplant from her brother. She is currently being treated in Charleston, SC and will be there during most of her treatment and recovery/100 days of isolation.

Kelli is a single mom who has recently started living back at home with her parents due to her illness. Kelli has a 5 year old daughter, who is lucky enough to have two older playmates in her cousins, 8 and 9 that are also living with Kelli's parents who are retired. Needless to say everyone is in a tough situation when throwing a battle with cancer into the mix. Kelli's mother is in Charleston helping take care of Kelli, while her father is here in Greenville making sure the kids are taken care of, getting them to school and taking care of their daily needs.

What we're asking is for you and hopefully your office's willingness to help provide various things for Kelli and the 3 children. There are definate needs that we would like to meet, and we would also like to help the family have Christmas as well. If you're willing to help, please respond to this email as soon as possible so that we can identify the needs that the family has (ie. clothing, food, care expenses), who can help and how. Here are the ways that you can help:

a- Sponsor a child's christmas (clothes, toys, etc)
b- Sponsor Kelli's christmas
c- contribute small gift cards to chain restaurants to help provide meals for Kelli and her mom while they are in Charleston for her recovery/isolation period
d- provide funds and/or gift card for some auto care expenses the family is facing

I know that helping others dealing with cancer is a mission that has been laid on my heart. I hope that you share this with as many people as possible and we are able to truly make this battle a winning fight. I would like to have all materials and funds in no later than December 15th. Thank you for your help in this mission. We will be filing our nonprofit paperwork soon, but unfortunately have not made it in time for this event, so current contributions will not be tax deductible. Thank you, in advance, for your willingness to contribute in some way!
