--------------------------
We wanted to let you all know of some very sad news and to pass on a request for assistance. Lucas Campanaro, our former student, has again been diagnosed with cancer and at best has only weeks to live. The cancer has attacked his spine and he has lost the use of his left leg and is experiencing trouble swallowing.
Lucas was originally diagnosed over 3 years ago at CHOC with a very rare cancer and went through many bouts of chemo and radiation. He did so well that he was able to start again at NHHS and lead a normal teenage life.
As you may recall, our school held some amazing fund raisers for him, and he was sponsored by our Make a Wish Club. The club sent the family to Hawaii in 2006 so Lucas could surf the North Shore.
Lucas is now 17 years old and moved this summer with his mother to Maui so that he could live in a healthful environment and surf to his heart's content. They learned only a couple of weeks ago that his cancer had returned.
Ms. Campanaro is a single parent and is currently experiencing financial difficulties. It would be wonderful if we could help relieve the financial burden during this very difficult time so that the Campanaro's can spend as much time together as possible.
An account has been established for them at Bank of America called "The Lucas Campanaro Family Fund Account # 12152-67158." Please walk into any Bank of America and donate anything you can. Please include your name and address on the deposit slip so that the family will be able to acknowledge your donation.
Heartfelt thanks.
