In Memory of Pam

Help Team Chesney Carry the Light of Hope

New Page 2

The above pictures are of Pam. She was an accomplished piano player and singer. She owned her own medical transcribing company and could type over 150 words per minute. She loved reading books and spending time with family.

Pam was diagnosed with Leukemia in October of 2001. She went through many chemotherapy treatments and a bone marrow transplant. On December 16th, 2002, after battling this terrible disease for over a year, her body finally gave up and her life on this earth ended.

Pamela Marie Chesney Stanifer left behind a husband, 2 young children and hundreds of friends and family members. She was 39 years old..

Leukemia is so weird, there is no rhyme or reason as to why, when, or to whom it will strike next. We have always felt so helpless and angry that there was absolutely nothing that we could do to help Pam.

After sitting around brewing about it for the past 3 years, we finally decided that enough was enough. There is something that we can do after all. No, we can’t bring Pam back but perhaps we can make a difference in someone else’s life in the future. That is why we have decided to join the Tennessee chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as volunteers. The Society's mission is to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

The reason we are writing to you today is to give you the opportunity to help out as well. We are not asking you to go out of your way, we're simply asking you to consider sponsoring "Team Chesney" for the Light The Night Walk at Volunteer Landing in Knoxville , TN on October 12, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. We have set a team goal to raise $1000.00 in memory of Pam, to go toward Leukemia research.

Did you know that:

  • Every five minutes, someone in this country is diagnosed with blood cancer: Every ten minutes, someone loses the fight.
  • Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children.
  • Lymphomas are the most common blood cancers.
  • The myeloma survival rate is only 32 percent.

Thank you for considering donating your money or time in this fight against Leukemia.

Sincerely,

"Team Chesney" -Byron, Mary, Jessica, Matthew
