Update: 7/28: on my hero- drummer for the first all girl band; the Runaways.

Sandy is thrilled by the kind letters of encouragement and support that she has received. She says they really do make her feel better and stronger, to know that she has friends out there and that she has touched so many of your lives. She reads every single one, and is collecting them into a book to read over and over again, so please keep them coming!

To those of you who have sent donations, your generosity is appreciated beyond words. We've been told that there was a medication that Sandy was doing without, due to its high cost and not being covered by her medical insurance. Your donations have made it possible for Sandy to get that medication for the next few months.

On behalf of Sandy West, thank you for your love, kindness, generosity and prayers.

-why is it medication that can keep you alive is so expensive? Isn't human life more important than anything?
