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!

Pizza Day


Brooks has been craving cheese pizza for a while. On Thursday night, Brooks ordered a feast of food from the cafeteria (cheese pizza, chicken soup, a lime slush, a fruit punch gatoraid, and I think a few other items). That boy was ready to eat! The food came, he ate a few bites, and he was finished. He has really had a hard time eating more than a few bites. Tonight, Lisa was able to bring him cheese pizza from Little Caesars, and he ate a full slice and a half! It is so fun to see him feeling as good as he does today.

    Hi. You don't know me, but I am a friend of Tyler and Jenny Swenson, she wrote me and gave me your blog site. I live in St. George and my daughter was also diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 4 years old so I can completely understand and feel all those feelings that you are feeling. My daughter is now 8 yrs and in remission and doing well. I just want you to know that even though you don't know me I would love to be a support for you and a friend. My email is bundy_lisa@yahoo.com, please feel free to e-mail me. I can also give you my phone number if you would like. I remember just talking and having someone who understands helps a lot! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Lisa Bundy
