CENTER FUND RAISER
SPONSORED BY JAMES "SMITTY" SMITH
RESEARCH SAVES LIVES
EVENT DAY WAS
JULY 22, 2006
HELD AT THE MAPLE CITY BOWLING CENTER
Smitty as he is affectionately know as by his friends was diagnosed with cancer in early 2005.
He began taking chemotherapy soon there after at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester
New York. After many months of chemo treatments he was determined to be cancer free. It
was at this time his doctors told him that they felt his chances for no reoccurrence would be greatly
enhanced if he where to have a stem cell transplant. Now this meant more chemo treatments.
Treatments that would be harder & more difficult then those he previously had . It also meant
destroying his immune system & having to build a new immune system basically from scratch.
Smitty forever being the fighter & optimist decided, "this is the right thing to do". So on
St. Patrick's Day of 2006 the transplant was done & Smitty began a "new birth" if you will.
The transplant went remarkably well.And so having counted his many blessings & good fortunes he
unselfishly wanted to help those cancer patients who would follow in his similar footsteps. And so that is
how the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center fund raiser was born.
