"Thank You" simply does not do justice.

I have reached my 50% mark for fundraising! Thank you to all of the supportive and caring people in my life and even those people I don't know who donated! Together we are making it possible to wipe out blood cancers.

Once again here is what is possible when you donate:

The POWER of your contribution

$750 Provides a leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma patient with financial aid to support medical treatment and to travel to medical appointments for one year.
* $500 Allows (10) patients to log on to a web cast and hear the latest information in treatment for their disease.
* $250 Provides a Family Support Group for one year.
* $150 Will train (6) survivors to make First Connections with a newly diagnosed patient.
* $100 Helps supply laboratory researchers with supplies and materials critical to carrying out their search for cures.
* $75 Average cost of tissue typing to become a bone marrow donor.
* $50 The cost of a co-payment for a CT scan.
* $40 Will educate (4) school employees on how to ease the transition back to school for a child with cancer.
* $35 Will purchase (12) Charlie Brown DVDs to explain cancer to pediatric patients.
* $25 Covers a single prescription co-payment.
* $5 The cost of sending a newly diagnosed patient a packet which includes information about their specific disease and support.

On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you very much for your support. I greatly appreciate your generosity.
Happy Running!
