How this website came to be
Saxtown.com was born as Amanda's first attempt to build a website about her husband (Michael) and his music. Michael plays the Tenor Saxophone and Town- They call him Downtown Michael Brown or Town for short. As Amanda taught herself web publishing, slowly but surely it started to turn into something. Then she was diagnosed with Cancer...

"We had so many concerned friends and family calling when we received my Melanoma diagnosis that it was overwhelming. Their concern was heartwarming on one hand but on the other, it was taking up a lot of my energy sharing the same news with everyone call after call. That's when I decided to add a page about our news so everyone could check my condition, results etc. at any time just by going to the web and they'd have the latest update. This has given me peace in my heart to know that everyone won't worry as much if they are informed on my progress. Plus it saves me energy so I can focus on healing. I try to keep the site updated weekly."

We have had numerous people telling us how reading about Amanda's experiences and updates have given them continued hope, inspiration and strength through their own journey or their loved one's battle with Cancer. It is only through God's grace that Amanda was able to share her life with you. Amanda gave God all the glory and felt honored and humbled to be chosen by him to share his love and healing through her life experiences.
