Dave's History with his family and his
fight!
Dave
Thompson, 42, is married to Dana, his wife of 11 years. Dave is the father of Ashley (20),
Lilli (5), and Buckley (3). The family resides in Middletown and attends
Holy Family Catholic Church. Dave graduated from Middletown High School
in 1982 and worked for Ryan Homes for 11 years prior to opening his own
construction company in Middletown.
Dave enjoys camping, fishing and riding 4 wheelers with his family. Dave
also enjoys attending NASCAR races and Steeler games with his wife. Dave
is an avid outdoorsman who participates in trap & skeet leagues as well
as enjoys the camaraderie of his hunting buddies on hunting and fishing
adventures.
Dave was diagnosed with Leukemia on December 22, 2006. He started
chemo therapy the next morning at Johns Hopkins, and remained at Johns
Hopkins for thirty days. On February 28, 2007 Dave will enter Johns
Hopkins again for chemo therapy to kill his bone marrow, and he will
stay in chemo up until the day of his bone marrow transplant.
On March 6, 2007, Dave's younger brother will have his bone marrow
harvested and Dave will receive it. In The 90 day period to follow, Dave
will spend a great deal of time in the hospital while the donor bone
marrow tries to graft itself in Dave's body.
The bone marrow is a perfect match!!!
