revised letter:
Hello everyone,
I am writing to you today, attempting to bring us all together to bring hope to one of our own. One of our tattoo artists, Chris Vennekamp and his family need some help. His oldest son Madison, has been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer known as t-cell lymphoma. He is going through heavy chemotherapy and unfortunately will be for the next 2 years. This is an extremely serious situation for our family and the Vennekamp crew. We are asking you all, to send some get well soon messages of hope to this lil' soldier. He loves science fiction and horror movies. Please send a card, a balloon, an xbox 360 game, magazines, candy [not chocolate, but he likes tic tacs and jelly beans,etc] shirts, or anything that you think a 13 year old boy would like.
Madison is facing a tremendously difficult journey, and needs all the support and encouragement possible from all of us. He needs to know that we are behind him.
He is in the hospital now, until at least friday. He may be able to go home and do outpatient treatment afterwards, and our fingers are crossed. If you would like to send love via myspace, please do so on Chris's page:
