Dear Friends and Family of Miriam,
I am pleased to report that Miriam has successfully gone through her fertility process and has arrived back home from the hospital after having her eggs harvested and frozen for posterity. She has been incredibly brave throughout the entire procedure, which involved injecting herself with a combo of up to three fertility drugs each night. She did it with a sense of humor and hope--as anyone who knows Mir can imagine!
We are gearing up for the fundraiser and I would like to thank everyone for their generosity and support. We are starting a "wall of cards" made out of all of the greetings we have received by mail. After it is filled up I will post a picture! Otherwise, I am sad to say the hard part has not even yet begun, with chemo and the stem cell transplant in her future, Miriam can use all the support she can get. We receive word every day about amazing donations via PayPal, fantastic gifts (thank you to Jack Johnson and Brushfire Records, and a special shout out to Stephanie for putting together an amazing package to La Jolla, among other things!) Please help spread the word about our upcoming Tea Party Silent Auction for Miriam!
We continue to receive the blessings of people with big hearts from around the globe. Remember you are free to post your thoughts, anecdotes and prayers here by clicking the "Comments" button below this post. As I write this, I am a bit teary eyed about the amount of support and love Miriam has received.
With Love and Light,
Erin (One of the FUNdraiser Team)

Dear Miriam,
This is sure different than telling you how cute you looked when we were in the 3rd floor ladies room. I never dreamed I'd be praying for your health and your future.
Having had breast cancer and a mastectomy (but fortunately no chemo or radiation), and having a best friend who suffered thru the same disease and did have chemo and radiation, I can definitely feel the anguish you're facing.
I don't know you at all, really, except for your really big smile and your sweet personality, but as a survivor I can tell you to keep a positive outlook, believe in the advances of medicine, and know, with all your heart, that you're going to be ok and that you will be raising a brood of children with all the eggs you harvested.
