Thank you for supporting our Moms in Training Team!
I got involved in LLS when my friend Lauren, a lymphoma survivor, was phyically and mentally healthy enough to create a remarkable team of women who fundraise to run (or run to fundraise). After about 2 years in remission, Lauren was ready to corral a group of motivated moms to help fight cancer. Last year our team raised $220,000, and our goal is even higher this year.
Lauren was diagnosed with lymphoma when she was 23 weeks pregant with Taylor, her now 7-year-old firecracker. Our families were already close at that time, and our then-4yo daughters Maddie and Brynn were thick as theives. Our two familes rallied together to support Lauren, Dan, and Brynn through this horrific journey. My family learned a lot about cancer at a very young age, and we'll never be the same. Avery will be running the 10K with us for the second time!
Lauren and Taylor's outcome was in large part due to treatments that were funded by LLS, this incredible organization. We're here to keep the momentum going so that our daughters and their children live in a world where cancer is curable. LLS has helped fund over 70% of FDA-approved blood cancer treatments since 2016.
Thank you for your support!
Love,
Judith and Avery
