Welcome To My Fundraising Page.
Despite vowing not to sign up for the Scenic Shore ride this year after several years of poor weather weekends, in my heart I wasn’t ready to give up having something to train for and joining 1,500 other crazy bike riders for a fun weekend! So, here I am again, soliciting your financial support for a worthy cause – the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. My fundraising goal this year is $2,500 - please help me become a "King of the Shore" for the fourth year in a row!
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.
Most of us know someone whose life has been impacted by leukemia or other blood cancers; I will be riding in memory of Sandy Stoner, my mother-in-law, who died from leukemia in 1989. This year, I will match 10% of every donation I receive. 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!
