Laugh for the cure

Reposting a Facebook friend’s post:

On June 11, 2011 we will make a difference in the life of a 13-yr boy diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) B cell type.

Aries Christian Villarosa Sarmiento is a very energetic and intelligent boy til his normal life was interrupted because of NHL – cancer of the lympathic system. He underwent dialysis, surgery, chemotherapy, and is frequently in and out of the hospital since his diagnosis last year.

Despite these, he qualified for scholarship at Paco catholic School. Sadly though, he may have to defer schooling to facilitate his medication and chemotherapy.

His doctors advised him to undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the thoracic region to find out the cause of the excruciating pain he suffers. He also has to undergo chemotherapy with initial treatment protocol for two sessions. The cost of medicines alone for his initial chemotherapy amounts to P212,941.10.

Let’s help Aries beat cancer! Your support will definitely go a long way in his fight against cancer.

Make a difference. Support the cause, enjoy the night, have a good laugh and release some endorphins!

Hope to see you there!
