Boruch Hashem Eli is feeling a lot better and was in a pretty good mood most of the day. He got a DS player from a special organization which he immediately put to very good use. He also had a choshuveh visit in the evening from reb Malkiel Kotler who was in town for a few short hours.

We finally sat down all afternoon today with the main DR for 3 hours to get a good idea of what the plan of treatment is going to be. He is starting chemotherapy this evening and IYH will continue here at CH for 5 consecutive days. Eli is aware of his situation and has asked many questions which have been very hard to answer but we have told him all he needs to know for now and he knows that at the end he will be the strong, smart beautiful child he was before all this began.

We are davening and hoping Eli reacts well to the chemo and that there should not be any negative side effects and that he should have the strength to fight this machla.

We can’t thank everyone who has reached out each in their own way we can feel it and no words will ever be enough to thank everyone who is helping us win this fight

Special Announcement

For the last few months a group of our close friends have been arranging to join Chai Lifelines marathon taking place in Florida on 2/2/14. They have already 12+ people just on the “team Eli” group along the many others that run for Chai Lifeline. To do so every runner goes through MONTHS of rigorous training which they have all began doing already. This is one of the bigger fundraisers for Chai Lifeline who anyone who has ever needed their services knows how vital they are when a family member is going through a illness. And for those who BH haven’t had a sick family member and beezrat hashem will never have should know that they are simply a lifeline. Always there and always thinking about what they can do to take their chesed to the next level.

Our family will forever be makir tov to them for what they have done for us and continue to do. Every runner that signs up is essentially pledging $3600 to join the CL team. Aside from the training they do they must also raise the $$. On the link below there is a team Eli page which shows how much together the team has raised but you can click on each persons name and donate directly to their pledge. We beezrat hashem hope as a family to be there together with Eli who will be pushed in a wheelchair/stroller by one of the runners during the marathon

I look at this as a insurance plan that hopefully your donation should chas vshalom never be used towards your family or anyone you know but for us its the ultimate lifeline. Again I ask that anyone that can should please donate whatever they can “every dollar counts”. If you can donate $5 great if you can do more even better. If you can fully sponsor a runner would be amazing. There is also nothing wrong with a runner more then fulfilling their pledges for this great and worthy cause.

Anyone wishing to join the team should please email Ayalaback@gmail.com and anyone wishing to donate should please go to this link: http://www.teamlifeline.org/myteam.php?myid=88.

All I can say simply is “tizku lmitzvos”
