Dear Friends, Windsurfers, Maui Travelers and Clients of The Maui Windsurf Company,

As many of you already know, Federico, an employee from Maui Windsurf Company for 9 years, has moved from Maui to Los Angeles in 2007 to take on his fight with cancer. After a year of remission, Fede has had to begin chemotherapy for a second time. His cancer returned in his liver with various lesions. As you can imagine he and his family were devasted. As it has been impossible to work full time, with their two kids at home, and a body full of chemo..

we decided again to sponsor a fundraiser/donation to help Federico and his family out during this tough time.

We have all come to know Federico as a loyal friend, loving husband to Marci, great dad to his kids Lucia and Mateo, and a motivated employee, who always went out of his way to give his customers at the Maui Windsurf Company the best possible service. His open personality and dedication have made him a favorite with a lot of our returning clients. Many customers have become great friends of Federico and his family.

His treatment will be time consuming, and because the best treatment options are in California, he and his family have had to move there for an indefinite period of time. To defray both the costs of living and the cost of his medical treatments, we are asking you to make a donation on his behalf.

So please help us support Federico and his family !!!

"I believed that my cancer had completely disappeared. I had the conviction to stop with the chemothereapy treatment in August of 2008 and I did.
It's been two months now since it was discovered that my cancer returned in my liver with various lesions. A biopsy of my liver was done and it was confirmed that it was the same cancer returning. You can imagine that this was not easy for me to accept, realizing that I would have to start with the same chemotherapy. Five weeks ago I started with the same chemotherapy regimine that they used before. I have recieved two infusions so far and am taking chemotherapy pills everyday morning and night. It has been very hard on me with many side effects. This thursday I will have another infusion and appt. with my Oncologist. We will also discuss doing an MRI to see if the chemotherapy is working.
My oncologist is trying to help me understand that cancer is chronic and that there is no cure for stage 4 cancer. Anyways, I have my faith that anything is possible and I will continue to believe that there is always a chance. I never stopped believing in alternative medicine and I continue to use alternative medicine as complementary along with the conventional.
Everyday I continue to investigate and learn more about the benefits of alternative medicine. I will try next time to give some more information that I have learned that is beneficial for everyone's health and that is helping me overcome a lot of side effects of chemotherapy.
My faith in God through Jesus is helping me and supporting me and my family with all that we are experiencing again.

Thanks so much to all that are helping and supporting me with what my family and I are going through.

Federico
