Another Chance to Give Blood for Bryce, etc.
Thursday, September 27!!
200 West 200 North
Bountiful, UT 84010
Hours: 3-8
The turnout for blood donations yesterday was great! I saw a lot of people who truly love Bryce and were happy to give a little of themselves, literally. It doesn't hurt, it's for an amazing cause, and everybody who goes gets to sign a card for Bryce. He opened them all today and read the messages. He loved them! Thanks, Ashlan, for taking the lead by organizing the Bryce aspect of these blood drives. If you missed your chance yesterday, there is one tomorrow also! The address is above. Let's blow yesterday's numbers out of the water! Does anyone want to stake it out and take pictures of Team Bryce? As Katie said, "I donated blood today and BLED ORANGE for Bryce!" (Thanks, Katie, for all the flowers you have sent to our home! There's something wonderful, sweet, and ALIVE about fresh flowers! )
Coincidentally, Bryce is in the hospital today, having another blood transfusion. His blood values are way off again. He has been listless and pale, so we knew he was due for one. Although it's hard for Bryce to get to the hospital because he's so tired, the transfusions are worth it He seems to feel stronger and look better for a few days after the transfusion. Those days are well spent with Danika and our families. Please help give Bryce those days with us by donating just one pint of blood! We have another friend who is in need of blood consistently, so even if you don't like Bryce (HA!), please donate for her. (We love you, C.T.!)
Thanks to Bryce's friends Jared and Darrin for setting up the Brown Ryce Golf Tournament! Bryce absolutely loves golf, so it's entirely appropriate. I'll try to get him to come to the kickoff. You guys are right--killing cancer is expeeeeeeensive! Every day with Bryce is priceless, though--it's money VERY well spent! The date will be October 5, and the guys need an RSVP by Sunday night. Thanks for thinking so highly of Bryce and our family. We are humbled by these outpourings of love and support.

Hi Tammy and Bryce! I absolutely love reading the uplifting messages you guys give to all of US! How can that be? You are truly amazing. You have SO MANY people who love you. I will be more than thrilled to donate blood. So, your Uncle Rob tried to text Tammy tonight--we want to come next weekend and visit you two. We don't want to impose and can only imagine with conference it will be a busy weekend for your Mom and Dad Sellers...We just want to come visit you both and MEET this wonderful and strong man BRYCE. That is, if you haven't stopped the constant flow of visitors you must have. We will be in touch very soon. Love to your little family...Hope to see you soon.

Bryce, I went to Bountiful High, class of 90 and I do remember you. I know you are cousin to John Burningham and I kind of hung around in that crowd. I wish you all the best and wanted to drop a quick note and say Hi. Stay strong, clearly you have a lot of support!! May God bless you and your sweet family.

Dear Bryce and Tammy,
You're being prayed for in Raleigh North Carolina, Denver Colorado, Chicago Illinois, and in our little household. We love you.
Marian and Sally
You two are so sweet and you have touched our hearts. Marvin and Judy Clark are Troy's parents. I'm not sure if you remember us, but they filled us in on what was happening and we caught the details on your web site. We're so sorry that you're facing this in your lives. What a beautiful family you have and your love for eachother is so visable! Thank you for your words of wisdom and great example. We sometimes take for granted the time we have and overlook the precious things in life. We love you both and you're in our thoughts and prayers.
This journal is touching many lives and we
thank you for so beautifully expressing your feelings. We are all being reminded of what is really important. Tammy, we think Bryce is right...you ARE beautiful and what a man he is.
You are being prayed for in Nauvoo.
Our love and hugs are enclosed.
Bryce and Tammy,
We first heard about Bryce's diagnosis in early August from our friend and Bryce's cousin, John Burningham. Ryan and I both went to high school with Bryce and have very fond memories of him. Bryce was in my ward and I remember him giving Sister Pederson a run for her money as our Sunday School teacher...you could tell she loved his precociousness (sp?) and wit.
We saw the piece last night on "Get Gephardt" and found out about your blog today. I've spent all afternoon reading and catching up. No one should have to endure what you've endured. Our hearts are breaking for you and Bryce and Dani. Like many others, we will be calling on the forces of Heaven in your behalf, and praying for you constantly.

Hi Tammy,
I've been gone for two weeks and I have had you constantly on my mind. You and Bryce are doing an amazing work in keeping positive. I know that has gone a long way in keeping Bryce with us for much longer than was originally predicted. Please know that you are always in our prayers and we love you.
Hey guys,
Ashlan just informed me that there were 74 'Bryce Brown' blood donors at the drive last week! That's awesome! I'll for sure be donating every chance I get. Every little pint helps someone right?! Love you tons..Steff

Hi Bryce and Tammy,
I'm an anonymous lurker from MPIP fighting the beast one day at a time. The two of you completely and totally amaze me with your positive attitude.
I want you to know that somewhere out there someone that you don't know and will probably never meet is being inspired and transformed from the inside out by your example. Melanoma may take over my body but it will NEVER get the essence of me. My spirit is WAY to strong to be defeated by a little thing like cancer.
Keep up the fight.
