Sorry, sorry, sorry ! her url is:

It is worth while to go back in her archives and her mothers archives to get an idea of the mountainous ordeal she is striving to overcome. She signs herself as, "The Warrior," which she most cerainly is.

http://rootnode.org/article.php?sid=26 is the FAQ on the "Kaycee" hoax. I'm not posting this as a knock, just to let any one who reads this afterwards know.

Anyone who believed or still believes this story is a fucking moran. Haven't any of you heard of urbans legends? You are all morans. Do received before you waste you breathe on a hoax. Watch out, soon I am going to start my own scam and you will all again fall victim. INTERNET IDIOTS!

Please follow the below links. I ran across your page while doing a search after reading the below MSNBC article and thought out of courtesy and decency I would let you know the truth about this hoax. ...and people wonder why this world becomes more cynical each day... God bless you. *HE* will never lie to you! OK. Here are the links: --------------------------------------------- http://www.msnbc.com/news/576899.asp A painful affair of the Internet heart Throngs of Netizens followed the tale of a leukemia victim, sending love, gifts - until the tale turned out to be a hoax By Bob Sullivan MSNBC http://www.vanderwoning.com/mess.shtml Tuesday, May 22, 2001 i am completely stunned. thanks to some detective work by phooey, a blogger at metafilter, i now know the real name of the person whose pictures are all over my hard drive, the person i thought was kaycee. the real girl's identity might have been hijacked. i now know part of the story of what happened. word is spreading like wildfire. authorities are involved. news media is involved. apparently kelli started this hoax. somewhere along the line debbie took over. from there it got completely out of hand. i still have some unanswered questions, but i think i can rest easier knowing the truth is finally being revealed. looking back at my previous post, i can now clarify further: the good news here is that "kaycee" is not dead. there never was a kaycee.

if there was conspiracy, it was primarily orchestrated by debbie.

all the photos around the web of the girl who was called kaycee are of julie fullbright.

kelli swenson may have been kaycee after all. --------------------------------------------- That's enough. You get the idea... Take care.

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!! SUCKERS! It was a total FAKE! That is soooooooooooooooooo funny!

-- JT (azchamp76@hotmail.com), May 24, 2001.

I don't find it funny at all. My favorite aunt is currently struggling with an acute form of leukemia. When a disease such as cancer hits this close to home and knowing the heartache of such, then you hear of other brave cancer fighter, your heart truly goes out to them & their family. I would not call those people morons or stupid who poored out their hearts to "Kacey Nicole". For whatever their reasons they donated money, gifts, etc....in my eyes it does not at all show an intelligent weakness, or gullibility, it just goes to show that human kindness and care still exisists. It saddens me that this type of behavior still happens, and through the internet is getting worse. To our brothers, sisters, friends, parents and even animals fighting the infamous "Big C" I commend your strength and bravery, fighting the fight. I would suggest next time anyone contributes to a cause, do your homework and really investigate where your money is going, after all the world is full of "Kacey Nicole"'s.

Kaycee Nicole is in actuality Stacey Rivole, a beautiful, young 17- year-old girl of Italian heritage, who has bravely been fighting Crone's Disease, and yet looks more beautiful than ever, fairly glowing as she inches toward her final moments on her daisy-fresh deathbed, a paragon of human grit and the will to live -- and yet, when she finally expels her death rattle (her makeup is flawless), the world will grieve and even the heavens will weep soft and mist rain, sending gossamer dewdrops from on high to anoint and bless those delicate souls left behind...
