My name is Colin Wilson and my son Dillon passed away on April 18, 2008 at the age of 2 1/2 after a 5 month battle with cancer. He was 4 days away from receiving a bone marrow transplant. My wife and I are crushed but have two wonderful girls Grace and Emma to keep us going. I am riding in a 100 mile cycling event in September 08 for the Team in Training group that raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. My page address for the event is http://pages.teamintraining.org/ct/tristate08/cwilsonrnl if you feel motivated to donate, it would be greatly appreciated. I have entered late and only have about a month to reach my required goal to participate. I just wanted to say that this is not a scam or a way for me to make money by tugging your heart strings. No money is sent to me in any way. You donate through their secure site. Thanks again.

I am very thankful that I have two daughters 8 and 6 years old or I don't know how I would go on. Thanks for your thoughts.

I know I left you a very long Gettysburg Address, but I felt that it would give you some encouragement during this tragic time. Just remember to love and to live like he would have lived and loved. :) Again, I extend my prayers to you.
Love always,
Heather
