Welcome To My Fundraising Page.
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.
My mother Janet, at the young age of 36, lost her life to Leukemia. It's been over 25 years and as many of you may not know, I was her matched donor for blood cells and bone marrow. At the time I matched and started my donations, I was only 5 years old. At the time of her battle with cancer, I did not truly appreciate what I was able to provide for her. Now, I am so grateful that I was the one who could help her fight her fight. I am so thankful that I was able to do one of the most selfless acts for someone I loved most in the world.
Although my donating blood cells came to an end in 1998, we can continuing to donate financially through this dedicated fundraiser supporting leukemia research.
My Uncle, David Perry, is participating in the Velo Palmetto bike ride to raise funds so all donations will be added to his goal.
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 blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!
