Sweet Fam & Friends-

Welcome To My Big D Climb Personal Fundraising Page!

     

As many of you know, my mom was diagnosed the summer before my sophomore year of college with Hodgkin's lymphoma. I'm luckier than most to say that today she is happy, healthy, and BRIGHT as can be. Her strength and positive attitude through it all is what inspires me today, and I could not imagine my life without her.

Because I have dear friends who have lost loved ones and will, unfortunately, come to know others in my future who will be affected by cancer, I feel it's only right we do something now. 

I've had the pleasure of working for LLS in Washington D.C. and know first-hand how much patients rely on LLS to ensure access to treatments and promote research efforts to ultimately find cures. It's an organization that will always have a huge part of my heart.

This year, join me, CBRE, and hundreds of others as we climb the stairs. I promise, it's not that bad!

Please support me with a donation.  Our efforts will make a big difference in the fight against blood cancers.

What is the Big D Climb?
The Big D Climb is a stair climb up 70 stories of Bank of America Plaza in Downtown Dallas. Although it will be challenging, it pales in comparison to what blood cancer patients go through.  All proceeds benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Who is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The mission of LLS is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1949, LLS has invested more than $600 million for research specifically targeting blood cancers.

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!
For more information about LLS, please visit lls.org
