On December 24, 2007, after 4-1/2 years of being cancer free, the news came that Eric McLean's leukemia had relpased. At 23 years old and having just graduated from college, Eric is determined as ever to beat it once again, and L.I.F.E. has been recreated.
The Leukemia Ironman Fundraiser for Eric was founded in the summer of 2003 following his first diagnosis with AML (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia). In a little over a month, $12,000 was raised and donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for cancer research. Eric's older brother Mike ran in the Ironman Wisconsin that fall to help draw even further attention, hence the name in the title. This time we bettered that effort, as Mike again ran in the Ironman Wisconsin on September 7, 2008, and we raised nearly $16,000!
With the help of many friends, family, and people whom we have never even met, we were able to put a very positive spin on the situation. Their donations made a difference in the quality of life of those battling with leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. They helped fund lifesaving research, education, and patient services while providing help and hope to thousands.
We will always be continually accepting donations on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society if you are interested. Also please check http://www.donate2life.net for daily updates from Eric on his blog, new pictures as they are posted, and to see how well the fundraiser is coming along!
Thank you!!
