Fundraiser Carnival style..... Please please please go!!!!

   This is for my uncle Jim, so if there is anyone who reads this in the Salt Lake or northern Utah area or if you would like to go or happen to be in the area please please go and have some fun. It is definitely for a good cause!!!! Below will tell a little about what his children, my cousins are trying to do for him. There is also a website at the bottom if you would like to donate but cannot make it.
   This man is beyond amazing! Of everything he has gone through he has kept his position as stake president in his area for the lds church. He has always put others before himself. He cares the most about his family as they are the world to him. He and his wife and family took care of my mom when she went through her cancer. And I know they have been there and helped so many other families who have gone through cancer as well as going through it with their own son. They have seen enough of this disease to be experts. And I wish with all my heart that they may be able to be rid of it for good. I pray for a good outcome for him, though I know its in the Lords hands. But there are just not enough words to describe the goodness of my uncle, how deserving he is to receive such help!!
So please please go!!

Jim Mickelsen was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia about 12 years ago. He was treated very successfully for 6 years. Jim has what is called a P17 deletion; often called the "dreaded P17" in the medical field, which causes the disease to progressively become unstable. Jim has been through six lines of therapy and a bone marrow transplant. He has survived two bouts of bacterial pneumonia, fungal pneumonia, a brain bleed and West Nile Virus over the past 3 years. Jim is married to Analee, together they are the parents of 12 children and 10 grandchildren. Please help us as we raise funds for our dad to see the world's leading experts in CLL.
