Hey friends!!! Welcome To My Fundraising Page.
SO, here's a fun fact many of you don't know. My dad, Woody, was diagnosed with leukemia in October 2017...just a few months AFTER I had already signed up to captain a team for this event again. Thanks universe! He has been through 2 rounds of aggressive chemo by the fine folks at Shadyside hospital and is set to have a bone marrow transplant hopefully in January 2018.
This race just got pretty personal for me and that is why I am more commited than ever to raising as much awareness and money for the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) as I can.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would please join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Thanks to your support, my efforts, will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today. This time next year I hope that my dad will be racing with me due to the efforts and advancements in research and treatments for leukemia.
LLS's continued advancements over the years, are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled.
And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.
We really are changing the face of blood cancer!
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.
Please visit my Web site often and bring friends who would also like to donate!
On behalf of my dad and all blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!
