HER STORY
In August of 2008, a black mole on the bottom of Karlie's foot tested positive for Malignant Melanoma - Skin Cancer. Since it was on the bottom of her foot, the mole is considered genetic and not from sun exposure. In September, she had an operation to remove the mole plus some cancerous lymph nodes in her upper thigh. Extensive treatment began in November and will continue until December 2009. Karlie has qualified for financial aid which requires her to only work 10 hours a week. As family and friends we are uniting together to help with living expenses. We are doing auctions (both silent and loud) and will be putting pictures and descriptions of the products on here for you to bid on. Just click on comment, and put in your bid. No one will be able to see it but us. :) So, check here often for updates and new items to bid on.

Karlie's Letter of Thanks

To All My Bloggers! Where to start.... Well I'm glad that I can actually walk like I used to. I almost forgot what it was like to be "normal" and wear high heels again, which is what I have been doing this last week. It has been a long 8 months of only wearing flats. I sleep WAY more than I should, so no complaint there. I have had a few episodes where I fall asleep in a split second, again no complaint on my end, but I’m sure someone does! I never thought that eating would be a problem, but there is. It’s just not the same anymore. I still love food! I have always looked at life that everything happens for a reason. What this reason might be… I would hope to spread the word that Melanoma does exist and you have to be careful whether you are in the sun or not. Hence mine is hereditary! I am glad I am going through it now, because I know it will make me stronger for what ever happens later in life. I would like to take a moment and thank every one for all of their support and donations. It is greatly appreciated. It is always good to know that there are good people out there, like me, who want to help and do what they can. I am also excited for the event held on my behalf on June 13th I am sure it will be a blast! Thanks again! Karlie
