Awesome news to report. I spoke with Jim at lenght on the phone last night. His latest bone marrow biopsy came back and he is.....

LEUKEMIA FREE!!!!! :clap: :bounce: :dance: :headbang:

The doctors have released him from the hospital and he is back at home. He still has a long road back to full health. But without the constant chemo he should get stronger every day.

I would like to take this time to thank each and every one of you that have helped him in his battle. And for keepig him in your thoughts and prayers. He is a great guy and this sport is a better place because he is part of it. In an age of Billy Gardners its nice to know there are still some Jim Waltons out there!


Simon :cheers:

He is free of the Leukemia but like I said, its still a slow road to a full recovery. He will still have to make frequent trips to the Doc. So keep those positive vibes headed his way. (and dont forget Punkncat too ;) )

I spoke to him via IM the other night. Sooo glad to hear hes won this battle.

Like Warwitch said, props to everyone of you that has helped out by either buying something from the benafit thread or donated money. Also thanks for keeping him in your prayers. They do work sometimes :dance:

Awesome news! My cousin is dying of Leukemia right now but they can't treat her...plus my step grandfather died of it...so I now how this has been for his close friends and family.

But for every sad story there's another happy one, and this is definitely cause for some celebration :cheers:
