AllonFS

[Craig]

One of our regular party of visitors to Le Mans, and occasional poster on this forum, AllonFS, has very sadly had to drop out this year due to medical reasons. His wife, Jo, asked me to put a brief thread up on here to explain the situation. I couldn't really work out how to word it so forgive me for posting her note to me verbatim:

Hi Craig

Its Jo here, Allon's wife. I know Mike has talked with you about Al, but he asked me to contact you himself aswell.

Al's pretty ill at the moment with APL leukaemia, but the prognosis is hopeful. He has finished his 1st course of chemo which is currently hitting him hard, and then he has another 3 cycles of chemo in the next 6 months. They then expect a 6 month convalescence period. There is a small chance he wont respond to the treatment but the Drs are all very positive about Allon's full recovery.

He has requested that you put a brief thread on the le mans forum to explain what has happened to him. One of the things he is most ****ed off about is missing Le Mans this year, however he is hopeful to make a return next year!

Thanks, Craig
Jo

I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing Allon a speedy return to good health. I look forward to welcoming him back into our group for our return in 2008 and I am sure you'll all look forward to joining us to toast his return!
