Our sweet honored teammate James was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday after his colonoscopy because his blood count was too low. His parents, TC teammates Ross and Amelia, are waiting for the Red Cross to find a match for James- since he has antibodies in his blood this makes it a little more complicated and they have to be patient. They are giving him a treatment of Remicaide right now and hopefully he will respond to this. If not, or if he has another flare within 4 weeks they are looking at surgery to remove his colon. James is THREE YEARS OLD!! Folks, if this does not motivate you to help find a cure, I don’t know what will. We need to find a cure and we need to find it fast! This weekends training session will be dedicated especailly to James.
Please keep the Wakefield’s in your thoughts and prayers! If you would like to help be a part of the cure, please make a donation! The money rasied through Team Challenge goes to fund research and patient services, so hopefully kids like James will have a great quality of life and have a cure in his lifetime.
