To all my friends and family,
Please join me again in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Thanks to your support, our efforts will help fund the research, therapies, and treatments that will help save lives today, tomorrow, and well into the future.
I'm participating in the NYRR MasterCard Mini 10K because I know what it means to have cancer touch the lives of my family and my friends. I've received that phone call and know the feeling of helplessness, no matter the specific diagnosis. It sucks, big time. But we can all make a difference. With your support, LLS's will be able to continue funding the doctors and scientists who 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.
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.
I thank you for your support!
