It doesn't seem to be set up for direct donations, but I'll ask.

Great idea.

There are many expert volunteers now so the other half of the pairing is what's really needed at this point.

That's really quite a powerful piece of the internet there, with the original posts from John in 2005 about positive medical results and such slowly transitioning into Anna doing all the posts about his increasingly degenerating condition, and eventually his death. I definitely think the fund is a good idea and I hope it helps. I’ve never seen his Leukemia Letters blog before.

Very sad to hear the news when lost the long battle against leukemia but it's great to learn of something like this to honour his name.
