Love Offers Strength, Hope and Recovery for Many Facing Health Crises

CHICAGO, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Does love truly conquer all? Millions of patients facing health challenges have found support and compassion through online communities such as CarePages.com believe it does. To them, love is more than a dozen roses or candlelit dinner on Valentine's Day - it's a matter of healing, strength and defying the odds for survival.

She credits her family's love and a community of more than 2,600 visitors extending from California to New England for fueling her fierce determination to fight the cancer. Lisa will soon embark on yet another line of treatment to battle the tumors, and although she and her husband are still weighing their options, they know they'll have all the support they could imagine.

         day to live through repeated examples of how good people really
         are." (CarePage: LisasRoadtoRecovery)

Or ask Barbie, whose daughter was diagnosed with leukemia when she was just three, who also acknowledges her CarePages community for providing the much-needed support while facing her daughter's many spinal taps, blood transfusions and chemo treatments. With family far away, Barbie found strength to care for her young daughter and help her beat the disease to live a fun and fulfilled life.
