How will you be helping?
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. 75% of every dollar spent by the Society goes towards research, patient aid, advocacy, and public education programs. Did you know that every 5 minutes someone learns they have a blood cancer and every 10 minutes someone dies from a blood cancer?
Team in Training provides endurance training for participants who wish to compete in marathons, century bike rides or triathlons. In return, the endurance athletes raise money and awareness for cancer research and valuable patients services such as outreach, support groups and patient co-pays.
Allison, the youngest of five children, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocitic Leukemia. She has been through two bouts of ALL over a six year period, but today at 13 years old she has been cancer free for over seven years! Allison and her family received assistance and support services from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Your donation to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society funds cancer research that has produced several miracle drugs that help patients stay in remission. Donations also support family support services such as co-pay assistance, support groups and education.
We thank you for all you do for those who battle this life altering disease!
This is why I run - because I know that I am not accomplishing a personal feat of an endurance event, but I am helping to raise awareness and support for people like Allison. With our help and donations, we can continue the research towards ground breaking discoveries that continue to allow children and adults who suffer with cancer the opportunity to achieve remission from their cancer - and stay there!
