Brooks' Story

On December 28, 2009, Brooks Call was diagnosed with acute Myeloid leukemia (AML), also known as acute myelogenous leukemia. AML is a very aggressive cancer that starts in the bone marrow and keeps the blood cells from maturing the way they should. Brooks is 13 years old and is the son of Greg and Lisa Call. He has two younger brothers, Ethan and Nic.

Along with our prayers, well wishes, and positive thoughts for Brooks, what can we do to help Brooks and his family? Our goal is to allow all family and friends to assist Greg and Lisa with any funding we can donate for the many expenses that will be involved in keeping Brooks going strong. Not only would we like to contribute to help with the mounting medical bills, but also for gas, babysitting, food while staying with Brooks at the hospital, and many other expenses.

Please look at the "Please Help Brooks" section on how-to-donate. We have made it very easy for all family and friends to help out – where ever you are! Please donate, and pass along this notice to all of your family and friends. Have them go to this blog to find out more information on how to donate and get updates on Brooks!

Thanks, from all Brooks’ Family!

Moving Day




Thank you to everyone for helping move the family this weekend! It was so touching to see all of the work that had been done in the home in St. George before we arrived. We appreciate the huge amount of time that was contributed by so many people. Thanks to the family and friends who were ready to move all of the boxes into the new home when the trucks arrived. We are so blessed!

    Brooks, Lisa & Greg,
    It was a pleasure to help you get things moved up. We just wish there was more that we could do. Either Roy or I or any of our children would be happy to be tested for a match for the bone marrow. Hey Brooks, you look really cool with that new hair do'. I was thinking but can not remember one of your mom's sisters looked just like that which they where born. You will have to compare pictures, just kidding. We want all of you to know that you are continually in our prayers, and we all know the out come is in the Lord's hands. So far we have seen miracle and heard good positive things. Brooks just keep smiling and know how very much we love you and you family. If you look at this today while you grandma Palmer is there she will remind you that I'm her sister and Uncle Roy is the one who loves to tease at any family gathering.
