Dear Friends and Colleagues of Bill Roley,
As you no doubt have heard by now, Bill was diagnosed with throat cancer early
this year. After extensive research, alternative therapies and soul
searching, Bill made the difficult decision to undergo radiation as part of
his
treatment. In April he completed a six-week radiation regimen, then on May
17th went through follow-up surgery to remove lymph glands in his throat.
The cancer was originally found in his right tonsil and since radiation to
the throat
affects everything in the region, Bill is doing his best with his speech,
eating and drinking. Understandably, he has lost weight and strength and
contacting friends now takes additional effort. Only the great spirit knows
what the recovery will include, but prayers and blessings are sure to help.
All of us who have depended on Bill over the past 20 + years for the
regenerative vision he embodies and for his generous words can
understand the challenges of his health. After volunteering years of his
life for environmental restoration he now needs to focus on his own
sustainability.
Although Bill has medical insurance, it covers only a portion of the total
costs. It doesn't cover all the medical, the alternative therapies, the
loss of income or the substantial daily needs. That is why we are asking
friends to send funds to help with his recovery.
We are asking you to send what you can on a monthly basis, for the
next few months. $10, $25, $50, $100 or more. You know
what you are capable of and Bill will surely be grateful for your help.
Please send your gifts and cards directly to:
Bill Roley
1120 Keller Way
Laguna Beach, California 92651
or email your prayers and good words to DrRoley at AOL.com...
Please forward this message to Bill's friends and associates. We'll send
updates as he progresses. Thank you all for your rallying support.
With love,
Rani, Lynne, Lois & Kreigh
