Your support means a lot…to me and to thousands of others.

We Love You Lily! Please make a donate to support my walk in memory of Lily.

I am walking in memory of Lily Martin. Lily was diagnosed with leukemia at age 4 months. She passed away at 8 months. She was a beautiful girl. Please help me as I raise money in her memory so that other children, adults, and families no longer have to cope with leukemia and the pain it can cause.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds lifesaving cancer research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and many other types of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, that have helped patients live better, longer lives. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving the quality of life.

But more research is critically needed:

• Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies.
• Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer.
• Nearly 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2007.
• The survival rate for myeloma is just 34 percent.
