John Wilson formerly of Westchester now current resident of Downers Grove, has recently been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML); a type of cancer which multiplies quickly if it is not treated. Leukemic cells are unable to perform their normal functions and build up in the bone marrow, resulting in less room for healthy blood cells and platelets. This can result in infection, anemia, or easy bleeding. The leukemic cells can spread outside the blood to other parts of the body, including the central nervous system, skin, and gums. Unfortunately, John is experiencing all of these adverse conditions and remains in critical condition at Loyola Hospital, since May 27, 2007.

The Friends of John Wilson (which I am part of) are having a Open Bar Benefit at Brixie's Tap in Brookfield IL on July 6, 2007 from 8pm to 12 midnight. Open bar will be available to those who make a $35 or more donation at the door.

I have seen how the Scion Community can rally for a good cause. Everyone is invited.
Donations for raffles and silent auction are still being accepted.
