Hones:

hey girl, I dont see you often but when I do its the best part of my day. You have always been a precious friend, near to heart even if a world apart. I admire the strength and determination you have always had for whatever you may be facing, and all that common sense you have. You were always the one reminding me to study while the rest of our class, well, got into trouble! (We couldn't have ever got into much trouble together with those bright white grad hoodies we wore). It makes my heart happy for you to know that you are fighting and caring for yourself in a way that you believe in. I am thinking of you and wishing you all the strength of the earth. Devin

Hey Mahonyha,

My one true "girl" friend in high school. I was always blessed to have you in my life while I lived in Kaslo. I didn't have any girl friends to watch girly movies with or just hang out until I found a great friend in you. I must say, I loved our comfy sit on the couch nights or our crazy hiking/running adventures. Remember that time we ran up the backroad and back around to mirror lake. Loved it. Other memories are the ones that we shared for a while in Vancouver at the chicken coupe!! Oh good old Swiss Chalet. Your beautiful, sweet, and full of fun. Your compasionate and gracious personality could befriend almost anyone. Your a treasure and I send you LOVE AND PRAYERS!

Sincerley,
Sarah

Wristbands...

We have placed the order and it is being processed, we should receive the wristbands within 10 days. We spent the weekend assembling the display boxes and designing the write up that will personalise them, so they should be ready to distribute as soon as the wristbands arrive. We have a list going of businesses that have requested them, if you would like to have a box at your business or place of work or know of anyone who might, please Email me at megan_moore1978@yahoo.com with the business name and address, we will deliver it, or we can arrange to get it to you personally if you prefer. We have received $800 in generous donations towards the $1800 purchase of the wristbands, therefore we are still asking businesses who display the boxes to make a small donation of at least $10 to help us to pay down the remainder of the purchase. Thank you to all of you who have offered to help and those who have made donations towards this fundraiser, we truly appreciate your help!

Mahonyha..

my favorite employee...I haven't found another like you! You were such a brave soul to go off to Switzerland to become a nanny!!! We all had fun at the coffee shop making up a memory book for you....so you wouldn't be homesick!! I think of you often and remember all the good times and laughs we had.....even over silly thing! Love and prayers. Teresa

Hello Mahonyha,

I know it has been years since our paths crossed however you are often on my mind and always in my prayers. I have many fond memories of time we spent together in our childhood, from camping at the Slocan campground for your birthday to Ski-Dooing together at my parents house. The pole that we hit at my parents house still has the black skid mark. I think you are a beautiful and amazing woman. Take care and keep strong. Stacy.

Cell Phones:

While researching Brain Cancer treatments I came across the following and thought it was worth sharing, I know that modern life makes it difficult to even consider abandoning such things as your cell phone or computer or microwave but perhaps one day (before it's too late for a lot of us) we will hear these words and actually listen.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs). You are exposed to them by electronic appliances. Cell phones, computer screens and microwaves are among the biggest offenders, but even the clock radio by the side of your bed is putting out unhealthy levels of EMFs for a foot or two. Your car puts out quite a bit of it.

Radiation from cell phones can literally eat holes in your blood brain barrier, which functions to prevent toxins from entering the brain. When it is full of holes, toxins get into the brain, causing much damage. A Swedish study has found that heavy users of cell phones had a 240 percent increase in brain tumors on the side of their head that the phone was used on. The study defined 'heavy' use as more than 2,000 total hours, or approximately one hour of use per workday for 10 years.

We have wondered weather Mahonyha's cell phone may have played a part in the development of her tumor, for at least a year leading up to the discovery of her tumor her cell phone was her primary phone, and she would sometimes spend several hours a day talking on it. More and more research is being conducted on the effects that cell phones are having on us and the links between them and brain tumors.

Hello beautiful……

I haven’t talked to you in awhile, but you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I really enjoyed spending the short time we had together on my visit home in March. It was definitely too short and I hope that we are able to visit again real soon. I hope that you had a great summer, and a very happy birthday. Your most recent pictures show the spirit and peace that I can only dream of one day finding. When I first accessed “ Mahonyha’s Fight” site, its very dearing hearing Sarah playing in the background as you and your family are the ones who first introduced to me her music. I remember falling in love with the song Vox, while sitting on your living room floor at the house in Slocan. I listen to it almost everyday now, as it reminds me of the ray of light that shines so bright from your soul and your big Julia Roberts smile. Thinking of you and sitting here writing this so many memories come flooding back to me that it almost feels like yesterday that we were hanging out in the camper trailer that you turned into your bedroom as if declaring your independence. Funny how time goes by but the greatest of memories are always with you. Camping with you and the crew, having our late night adventures outside W.E and on the floor at DJ’s house, tubing behind the boat and always wishing that one day we would have a Toyota Tacoma to drive……oh the days. You were the bestest friend that anyone could have had being the new kid. ( Even if you did date the guy I crushed over!!!!) I love you and wish you all the strength to defeat the battle you’re in. You’re already a survivor and my hero. You truly inspire me to live for what’s important and for what makes me happy. Our story is not over, its just to be continued……………………All my love, Rhonda

Hones,

Oh the memories I have being your little sister... there are so many... I could go on for hours, but I will pick a few. You were such a kind sister growing up, you always wanted to take care of us and cook for us, it was amazing the way you were so motherly at such a young age, and I thank you for all that you showed me as an older sister. I am honored to in any way possible repay the generosity you showed me from such a young age. Weather we were playing together, quarreling over a bike or straight out fighting like sisters do, we for some unknown reason, stuck together and were there when times were strange, like when we moved to Kaslo and knew no one. We were each others best friends, walking and talking together and exploring the new town we would call home for many more years. The many nights drinking tea and watching old school flicks! I would give everything to have another moment from the past with you :) Thank you for everything, you truly are an amazing sister and best friend.

Loving you with all my heart
Emily
