Welcome to Jillian's Web Page. Jillian was diagnosed with pre-b standard risk ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) on January 5, 2001 and relapsed on October 7, 2002. She received a cord blood transplant at Duke University Medical Center on December 24, 2002, but relapsed again on April 28, 2003. Her battle finally ended July 8, 2003, when she became an angel in God's Kingdom.

Just a quick note to let you know that I have made an important decision to run in my first marathon and I am doing it for a great cause. I will be supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training to help find cures leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other blood cancers. I will be participating in The Country Music Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee on April 26, 2008.

That's right - 26 miles all in the same day. My personal goal is to raise at least $3,900 and not to pass out during the run.

One of the most rewarding parts of this experience is the honored hero program. I will be running in memory of my daughter Jillian and in honor of all of our transplant survivor friends who are now celebrating their 5 year post-transplant anniversaries. That's a big deal in the transplant world. Congratulations and happy re-birthday to you all! You can check out my fund raising website below:
