A Note From Katie

I personally want to thank everyone who has helped us through this incredible nightmare of a year. I may have lost a handful of friends, sadly, but I have gained at least 50 more! There were 200 people at the benefit by 8:00pm. The owner said he'd never had so many people in his bar before. 

Besides all of the money raised, which has been unbelievably helpful, I have been sent handmade prayer blankets, dolls, holy water, magic dirt , books, music, cards, food, gift cards and have people praying for me from the Vatican to the Wailing Wall. 

Strange to have brain cancer yet feel like the luckiest girl. And still it continues...my infusion of Avastin is tomorrow (5/28), I take my chemo pill tomorrow and lovely people come to me still wanting to give. 

Thank you all for making my life so full.

A Note From Micah

"Hey Guys,

I wanted to thank all of you for being a part of the Rock4Katie Benefit Concert and your donations to Katie and my family through the Talbert Family Foundation.

It was very moving for me to see Katie out of the house, having fun, surrounded by all of her friends.  She's had such a rough year this party was exactly what we both needed.  I know most of you have your own busy schedules and your own drama that you might be dealing with, yet you still have been there for us since day one.  With your help and prayers I have been able to take care of my family.  Thank you!

Wasn't it great to see Katie glowing (not from radiation and chemo) out on the dance floor??!!  
I love you Boo.

With our heartfelt gratitude,
- Micah
