I'm participating in the 1Oth annual Leukemia Cup Regatta in honor of my good friend Corbin Winchell and the many people who are diagnosed with these illnesses each year. Corbin's life was changed when he was diagnosed with Lymphoma in September. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment in his battle for a cure. His prognosis for a full recovery is good. There is clearly a lot more research that needs to be done and your contribution will help to make it happen.

Did you know that:

• Every five minutes, someone in this country is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every ten minutes, someone dies.
• Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young people under age 20.
• Lymphomas are the most common blood cancers.
• The myeloma survival rate is only 34 percent.

Please make a difference by making a donation. My hope is that with your help we can raise enough money so that the research being performed can make a difference for the people that are diagnosed with blood cancer diseases. I hope you'll visit my Web site often to check in and see how my fundraising is going.

Thanks for your support!
