Final Post
Friends,
This is Austin’s father, Carty.
We lost our beautiful son Austin to Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia this past May 8th.
This blog was an enormously important source of inspiration and comfort for Austin, many of you have told us it was valuable for you as well.
Deb (his mom), Dylan (his brother), and I miss him terribly as you might imagine.
We’ll leave the blog up indefinitely and keep an eye on the comments. You can reach us at <debra at roundpond dot net>, <carty at roundpond dot net>, and <dylan at roundpond dot net>.
Thanks for all your engagement and encoragement. ALL is a nasty disease, there is a lot of work remaining to make progress toward a cure, if you are able – consider a donation to the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

To Austin’s parents and family: I must say I was sadend to read this Blog. I am a 2005 Bone marrow transplant survivor of All. I know the fight he went through and you can be proud of your son and the way he faced this disease. Being treated at Brigham/ Dana farber, they are the best and I am sure he had the best treatment. I am 54 now but fight the rejection issues every day and get strenth in my fight from people like Austin. Thank you for keeping this blog up.It is important. Evan
I have stumbled across this website by accident, as I was searching for a friend’s. As I started to read anyway, I began to realize what was going on here. It sounds like Austin was a fantastic person, and very well-loved by many. I will be donating a small percentage of every paycheck I make in 2012 to the L&L society, while hoping for a cure to this horrible affliction. I wish your family the absolute best in heart, health and happiness.

Richard, Ocekojiro, Evan and Elliott,
Thank you all for your kind words and wishes for our family. It always amazes me such kindness comes from strangers.
Austin was a joy to know and we are and always will be, proud of him.
