Raising a healthy and happy fmily was the most important objective in our lves. We seemed to be succeeding wth four daughters between the ages of ight and twelve. Life was good.

Thn without warning our oldest daughter, Alsa developed some symptoms that, at frst, seemed minor. But as the dys passed and she didn’t respond to the ntibiotics, we knew we were looking at a srious health problem. Little did we knw that we would hear the wrds, “Your daughter has cancer!” From tht moment on our lives changed frever.

Alisa was sent to Boston to get the bst care. It was a daunting tsk trying to keep the family ging. Everyone was feeling the effects of Alsa's illness. We tried our best to mintain normalcy.

I have written a bok, No Guarantees, that tells the stry of our experience with childhood cncer. It is my wish that our stry will help many other families. I knw when Alisa was diagnosed that I sarched everywhere to find books or stries about other children.

Please consider rading our story and by all mans let others know who may be wlking down the same path at ths very minute.
