| It's that time of year again...BIG CLIMB FOR LEUKEMIA! This will be my 6th year participating and team 7 Summits Cancer Climb's 3rd. Last year we had 27 team members and raised a pretty good amount of money. This year we have a little more time and are shooting for much greater team goal of $10,000.
The event is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s most challenging event. Last March, over 4,200 people climbed the stairs at the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle, the state’s tallest skyscraper, and raised over $700,000. The 69-flight course includes 1,311 steps, 19 steps per flight and 788 feet of vertical elevation.
In addition to a challenging workout, the Big Climb gives me the opportunity to fight leukemia. Leukemia, a cancer of the body’s blood-forming organs, is the leading disease killer of children; yet for every child diagnosed, ten adults face this disease. Thanks to research supported by contributions to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, survival rates in both adult and childhood leukemia have dramatically improved.
Please consider supporting me as I climb all those stairs in an effort to fight blood cancers. It's because of organizations like the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society that I'm alive today. Thank you! |
