Important Dates to Remember

March 11, 2005

Hello Everyone,

If you are looking for inspiration and the opportunity to participate

in two unique events - please take note of the following:

FREE Evening talk by Alan Hobson, world renowned adventurer, Mt.

Everest Summiteer and stem cell transplant survivor - AML dxed in

2000. The title of Alan's talk " Climb Back from Cancer " is his story

of his three attempts on summiting Mt. Everest, finally summiting on

the third try and then being faced with being diagnosed with AML.

Alan tells us that the journey through cancer was much more

challenging than his treks up Mt. Everest. Alan will be sharing many

of the photographs he took on his adventure up Everest. There is one

particular picture that shows him standing on the middle of an

aluminum ladder that is tied into place over a 150 ' crevasse in the

infamous ice fields of Everest where he is tied at the waist and

being guided by Sherpa's and fellow team mates - the parallel to our

own journey is quite amazing!

Alan's talk is taking place on March 17 at 7:00 PM - doors open at

6:30 PM at the Centre Mont-Royal, 2200 Mansfield (corner Sherbrooke)

Montreal, QC. The first 100 patients will received an autographed

copy of Alan's book - Climb Back from Cancer. To register for Alan's

talk just send an e-mail to Alans.talk@...

The next event will be on Saturday March 19, 2005 - The 1st Canadian

Forum for Patients with CML at Centre Mont-Royal, 2200 Mansfield,

Montreal, QC at 2:00 PM - 3:45 PM

Among the many subjects being discussed will be the announcement of

the Canadian Consensus and Guidelines for CML treatment in Canada.

Patients not able to attend in person can participate in the " live "

webcast by registering at:

Please register with your real name as any registrations containing

blanks or other obvious bogus information will be deleted.

Hope to see you all at both events!

Cheers,

Cheryl-Anne
