About 4 years ago, 15 year old Jordan Reiss was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, an extremely rare form of bone cancer.
Using traditional cancer treatments, this disease has about a 20% survival rate.
Thanks to the staff at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Jordan has an amazing shot at beating those odds. |
(12 year old Jordan with is father, Jeff) |
For about 4 months now, Jordan has been going to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for an ground breaking non-FDA approved antibody study. In this treatment, there is an initial 6 week window that determines if it will be effective or not. Thankfully, Jordan has responded very well, making it through that window, and showing a great reduction of the cancer cells in his body.
As with everything else in the world that is new and exciting, this treatment come with a price tag. An almost half a million dollar price tag to date. And while that is one-tenth of what any parent would pay for their child to be healthy, the bills are still there.
Please join Xtreme Poker, and the West Catty Fire Company in a fundraising Texas Hold 'em Tournament to benefit this vibrant young man. Tickets are available at any one of our nightly main event tournaments, as well as at the West Catty Fire Company.
SEE YOU AT THE TABLES! |
