| Carrie Peters Curtis Benefit January 8th at the Radisson in Roseville, MN Featuring Minnesota's most requested comedian - C. Willie Myles! He is called America's Everyday Comedian because of his non- offensive humor. Carrie's friends were also able to book 36sunrise, a great up and comming band who is making their mark on the Minnesota Music Scene and beyond. Also before and during the evenings' entertainment we will have a silent auction just outside the ballroom for all attendees to bid on. On July 15th, 2009 Carrie Peters Curtis age 39, went to the doctor because she thought she might have the dreaded H1N1. Carrie works with the public and has two small children at home so she really wanted to make sure she wasn’t sick with anything contagious. The first tests were confusing; her white blood cell count was too high to read. They had to get another machine in order to read her blood test! The new machine confirmed the worst. Carrie had leukemia and she was to be admitted to the hospital that night. Once Carrie was admitted her body almost immediately broke down. Carrie was intubated for the next three weeks. When Carrie recovered the doctors were amazed she had lived through it. They said she was the sickest patient they ever had- that didn’t die! Carrie has Acute Myeloid leukemia and her only chance for survival is a bone marrow transplant which she will undergo in November. Carrie already has been receiving bills from her first stay in the tens of thousands- after insurance has paid it’s portion. To help her out, many of her friends and family are organizing a benefit. |
