semiotic_pirateI'm walking with my company team in a Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
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.
Please make your donation of any denomination here and then reply with how much you've donated so I can keep track of my personal goal being met. Replies will be screened unless you give permission in your reply to have it unscreened.
The walk I'm attending is being held at Evergreen Walk this year on September 25th so you could consider it a belated birthday gift (September 5th, yes, today)! Puleeeze?
Any amount would be appreciated - even $1 - and if you want to, you can choose to pay using PayPal.
