I have been blessed with two healthy grandchildren and have a third on the way. I pray that we will not have to endure the loss that the family of my dentist, Dr. Folden Lee III did. I am having my head shaved to help raise money for research to honor the valiant fight waged by a brave little boy, Folden Lee IV. A bit of his story follows:
With so many tests, procedures and medications, you might expect a two-year-old child to act fussy or, at the least, weary!but when he was going through these horrendous treatments, you could ask, "Folden, how are you today?" Without fail, his answer was always, "ME FINE!"
Me Fine Foundation, Inc. was founded by friends and family of Folden Lee IV who was diagnosed with AML Leukemia in May, 2003. He received several rounds of chemotherapy at UNC Children's Hospital but relapsed shortly after treatment. He then survived two consecutive cord blood transplants and extensive radiation at Duke Children's Hospital. In spite of gallant efforts, the leukemia cells once again returned. Folden was 2 years old.
