I just received an email from Billy Ward ... and he needs your positive thoughts and prayers.

Billy's life partner,  http://www.maurarobinson.com]Maura Robinson , was recently diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). This illness basically came out of nowhere; manifesting over the past four weeks.  Maura's kidney shut down and other organs as well, but now the kidney is improving and she will begin chemotherapy this Sunday or Monday. The exact day of treatment will depend on her organs health however.

Maura is currently in critical condition. Billy says that she is very strong.

Billy asked that I let you all know, and said that "your thoughts and prayers mean the world to me."

Please take some time to pray and/or send good thoughts for Maura (and Billy).

You can post encouraging words here ... I'll be notifying Billy about this thread.

Cancer effects many victims when it strikes.  Went through it with my Dad and it was very scary.  Alot of  prayers and alot of faith....

Billy, Dad and I were just with you up in New York at MD Fest. It's always shocking how quick something tragic like this can enter our lives.

You can bet that we will definately have you in our thoughts and in our prayers daily.  May God's hand be upon Maura and you.

Definately! We are praying.  May she get the best care possible! And take care of yourself also, she's going to need a strong shoulder.

My sympathies are with you, Billy. A close member of my family is also battling cancer at the moment. My heart is also with you and Maura.

Be strong in faith, hope and love.
