My name is Melodi Terrill and my son, Ryan, was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, in November 2012.  He is 18 years old and is attending college at the University of Oklahoma.  After learning about his cancer, he was determined to stay at OU for the second semester, so it was arranged for him to receive his chemotherapy treatments in Oklahoma City which is 20 miles from Norman.  We live in San Angelo, Texas which is about six hours away.  He just finished his last big treatment, but has to have several, 1  dose chemos left.    He now has to have radiation and will be receiving proton radiation at the Procure Center, which is about 45 minute drive, each way.  He will be traveling every day, five days a week, for 23 treatments.  I'm writing to you to see if there is financial assistance available to help pay for the gas.  I didn't know if you had any kind of scholarship programs available to help with tuition or not.  Ryan is in the process of applying for scholarships to help pay the tuition next semester.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

Sincerely, 

Melodi Terrill
