JUST GOT SOME AWESOME NEWS.............The Doctors office just called me and their is NO CANCER in my bone marrow !! I still have the Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but it didn't get to my marrow !!!!!...
The Uncle Phil Fund Website is now a reality!
Fans, friends, family and well-wishers can now go to a special dedicated website for News Updates on Phil's condition as well as what's happening with the various fundraising efforts currently underway.
Throughout his life, Phil has always been the first to pitch in and help a friend or cause in need. While he hasn’t asked for the first penny, he’s so deserving and that’s why some of his friends started this website as a way to help the cause and give all of Phil’s friends and fans a place where they can donate online. -Quote from the website.
