Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi: For all of you who have heard me talk about my great MDACC doctor, Dr. A. Koller, I recently received his letter that he is again joining the Houston Police Bicycle Relay Team on their July 17, 2008, relay from Houston to Kelowna, British Columbia. They will arrive on July 23, after approximately 2600 miles. Participants in this relay are mostly members of the Houston Police Department, the Houston Fire Department, and the Houston Emergency Medical Team. Dr. Koller has made several relay trips along with the HPD in the past. He apologizes for being so late in announcing his trip, but says that a recurrence of his kidney cancer resulted in two tumors growing on his chest wall that had to be removed in March. This caused his recovery to take longer than anticipated, but he now feels strong enough for the relay. The Team has raised almost 4 million dollars for our cause over 25 years. The dollars have gone to fight leukemia and related blood cancers. Dr. Koller is as ardent as ever in his fight against blood cancers and wants this scourge to be erased forever. If you are in a position to make any donation, please write a tax-deductible check to “The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society” and send it to: A. Koller, MD MD Cancer Center-Box 428 1515 Holcombe Blvd. Houston, TX 77030 Or you can go to www.hpdrelay.com and click on his name or that of any of the officers and donate online. I urge you to give whatever you can to our and Dr. Koller’s cause. I believe that his effort is absolutely wonderful, especially in view of his own ongoing health problems. Thank you for your help. Margot (P.S.: FYI—I was diagnosed March 27, 1998, and was given 3 to 5 years. We are just into my 11th year. Thanks for your prayers and concern.)
