Yancy Lent's Ride
Why I Ride ...
On May 7 2007, at the age of 5 years and 4 months, my son Ethan
was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). He spent 5 months at Children's
Hospital Boston.
We learned so much... high risk... chemotherapy... pneumonia... the list goes
on. The words "bone marrow transplant" sent chills, no... not
chills... tremors throughout our bodies as we heard them. And who comes to the
rescue? A 3 year old... Eliot... Ethan's baby brother. He saved Ethan's life on
August 20, 2007 by donating his bone marrow to his big brother 3 days after his
third birthday.
Ethan survived 3 rounds of very strong chemotherapy... 8 sessions of total body
radiation... and leukemia.
We returned home on September 19 having a new appreciation
for home, family, and life. We would not be allowed to have anyone in our home
until at least May, and Ethan was not allowed to go anywhere else inside, or near
crowds, until that time.
We will never look at life the same; never have such an appreciation for every
day we have together.
Support of family and friends helped us get to where we are today. Amazing
medical professionals and modern medicine has put our son into remission. We
want remission to last forever... we want cancer to be gone forever. This is
what I can do to help.
