Congratulations Jay Morrissey for completing the 100 mile bike ride in honor of Derrick for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Jay raised over $2900 for leukemia research. Thanks Jay and we are so proud of you! 100 miles is a huge feat!
In other news, please keep another Ephrata resident in your prayers. Casey Coble,a 2000 Ephrata graduate, recently found out that his leukemia relapsed. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments, and he needs prayers for strength and recovery. Derrick and I met Casey when he came to the hospital to talk to Derrick and give him hope and inspiration. Derrick was touched that Casey took the time to come talk to him. Please keep Casey and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Mindy

Hi Mindy,
Thank you for your prayers and comments about Casey. After I found out about Derrick's blog, I was hooked. Every morning before work, I would check to see if anything new was posted. I shed quite a few tears reading them, because I knew the emotions that were well masked in your daily reports. You, and Derrick, handled things with such grace and strength. As you can see, I am still hooked on your blog, and it has inspired me to create one for Casey. Please feel free to follow it at www.caseyscrusade.blogspot.com
Sincerely,
Peggy Coble (Casey's Mom)
