Marc Ely is a buddy we met when Chance was first diagnosed 6 years ago. Marc also had leukemia and was diagnosed a few months before Chance. We saw Marc and his mom Debbie often when we went for appointments, treatments, or were in the hospital. Chance & Marc went to Camp Rainbow the first time together and have every year since until this summer.
Marc has a site on Caring Bridge that I found and was able to find out why he missed camp. Marc has relapsed again and will be having a bone marrow transplant on Thursday. His sister is a match and will be donating for him.
Marc has been fighting this for 6 years! He is one sick little boy right now. Please pray for Maggie as this will be painful for her as a donor. Even Chance realized that when I told him what she would be doing for Marc. Please pray for Marc, that his body will accept this donor marrow and produce lots of healthy cells for him. And of course for their mom, dad, and other family who support them day to day.

The first picture was their first year at camp.
The second picture was in 2005. Chance went to camp with a black eye!
