Dear friend,
I did not think for one minute that I would eventually be one of the 912,938 people touched by a blood cancer. I have been on an extraordinary and inspiring journey the past four years. October 2010 will mark my fifth year in remission from leukemia. To celebrate this significant milestone, I will run five marathons and five half marathons with Team in Training, beginning Saturday, Feb. 27, and finishing in December 2010. While running these marathons, I will raise $500,000 to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It is a lofty goal, but is possible with your support.
The benefits of my plan are four fold:
- Raise public awareness of blood cancers
- Raise money to fund vital cancer research (all money raised will benefit the AML portfolio)
- Support efforts to find the ultimate cure for cancer
It is my heart’s desire to make a significant contribution to the amazing programs that are already in place at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in 2010. By donating, you can help me reach my goals in a number of ways.
