Faith Bacon

Here is the first of two new families we are helping, Faith Bacon and her son Jeremy. Look for a picture of the family in a few days on the website djdfighton.org Thanks to everyone who has continued to support the DJD Fight on Foundation, so we can continue to help families like Faith's. Please see the previous post about items you can help us purchase for Faith's son for Christmas. Thank you so much! Lots of Love!


Hi. My name is Faith Bacon. I am a 42 year old single mom of a 12 yearold son, Jeremy. I would like to say thank-you to Mindy Dull and the DJD Fight on Foundation for thier monetary donation to help pay my medical bills and also helping with my son's Christmas. It is much appreciated and May God Bless. On August 25, 2010 I recieved a call at work telling me I had leukemia and was immediately supposed to go to the hospital. This was very devastating news for myself and my family. I was diagnosed with AML and they have told me that I won't work for at least a year. I had my first chemo treatment 2 days later and that put me in remission. I have also suffered a couple set backs having a bloodclot in my left arm and also one in my left lung. I have had my initial treatment and 2 consolidated treatments so far, and the beginning of the year I will have my 3rd one. Right now I am going through a series of 4 spinal taps/ chemo to the brain.

I have tolerated all of the treatments very well and everyone says I am very strong. I have to be for my son. I am amazed at all the support that has come from my family, friends, co-workers, graduating class, and even people I don't know. I am so thankful for everyone's thoughts and prayers and all thier support. Jeremy and I really appreciate it.


Thank you very much and May God Bless,

Love,
Faith and son, Jeremy
