I never have seen a man fight so hard to save his wife. Please help Keith Knapp save his wife with cancer by signing his petition. Today he sent a message out to all that have already signed and this is what he said. Hey #WeGotThis Team, Thank you for the support. Mikaela & I greatly would greatly appreciate if you could read this whole email, as we have a couple things to request from you to help us in our quest for compassionate use access. As I write this, we number 183,135. If we were a city, wed be Huntsville, Alabama -- just outside the top 100 most populated cities in the US. You guys are doing a phenomenal job of spreading the link to this petition -- change.org/savemywife -- and we have national media appearances coming up this week, so lets see what size city we can become! Mikaela Health Update - Having trouble coming off the IV painkillers, so still in the hospital. Hopefully will be headed home tomorrow, but its impossible to predict. Thanks for all the flowers that have been sent to her at Mercy Hospital Folsom, Progressive Care Unit Room 13! Campaign Progress: 1. Mercks Executive Director of Communications emailed me & asked for our oncologists contact info. No word on what that means yet, but were incredibly hopeful. 2. Our congressman, Ami Bera, reached out to help. We chatted with Congressman Bera and some of his team today, and hes going to help us reach out to the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA. 3. We are nearing mainstream national media coverage. To stay up to date on our media developments, you can also check out the press list on our media page: shegotthis.wordpress/for-media/ Mikaela & I Need You: 1. Please follow the Facebook page -- https://facebook/savemikaela -- to stay in the loop on our progress. If youre not on Facebook, subscribe to our blog for updates here: shegotthis.wordpress/ 2. (Optional) On the recommendation of several members of our #wegotthis community, we have decided to test the genetics of Mikaelas tumors. This is very expensive, so were asking for those who are able to help to contribute whatever amount theyd like at gfwd.at/1hTL25D. 3. While the donations in #2 are entirely optional, this request is urgent and highly desired: for the start of our national media coverage later this week, were putting together a #wegotthis video. Please submit a video of you saying We Got This! to keithknappjr@gmail by tomorrow (Wednesday) night. We get our power and hope from all of you, and we want to feature you on our website, during our interviews, and in our articles online. This will be a great tool to emphasize how global our community has become, so please send your video in ASAP! For specific instructions and examples, see shegotthis.wordpress/2014/03/24/be-a-part-of-our-video/ Thats all for now. Keep an eye on the Facebook page and blog (both links are posted above) for future updates. Expecting big developments this week! With love to almost 200,000 of you! Keith & Mikaela
