At the age of 17, my best friend, Lucy (Who's pictured on the right),became motherless.  After four long years of fighting, cancer won and took her mom away.  I tried my best to console Lucy, but I realized there was nothing I could do to change the situation. And that, was the worst part, realizing I could do NOTHING to make her feel better.  At that moment, I decided I would no longer allow cancer to take over another life. This is why I am raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I can no longer sit back and watch cancer destroy lives. With your support, I believe that we can eliminate cancer, instead of cancer eliminating lives.
