Racing to Save Lives

Disease in one form or another has affected all our lives. Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin’s, Cancer… these are more than scary words; these are debilitating and in some cases sadly, fatal diseases. With all the advances of science, we still haven’t found a cure… yet. This year I decided not to take this lying down, in fact I decided to run a marathon with Team-in-training. I have committed to raising $3900 for cancer treatment and research to play a small part in ridding humanity of this menace. Now I need people like you to sponsor me to meet that target.

Just think, in the 5 minutes you take to read this, someone somewhere will be diagnosed with Leukemia. In the next ten minutes, someone will die. I ask you now to support my effort and donate generously. We can all make a difference. Lets.

Find out more about the marathon http://www.rnrmarathon.com/home.html Team-in-Training has pledged that 75% of all donations up to my $3,900 target, and 100% thereafter, goes directly to patients or research. What are you supporting with your dollars? The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. Their goal is to significantly accelerate cures for leukemia and related cancers. Since its founding in 1949, the Society has invested more than $360 million for research specifically targeting blood cancers to ultimately cure these diseases.
