Support those who Support this Cause!


I decided to make a difference in somebody else's life. Having looked for opportunities and causes, I found and joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training (TNT).


Joining this team gives me the opportunity to participate in an endurance event; racing for their cause - to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I will be cycling 100 miles on June 6th in Lake Tahoe in honor of all who are battling blood cancers.


I have met a few people who are fighting the fight everyday, along with their parents and loved ones and I can't help but feel inspired and motivated to doing something for them. Every one that has this challenge in their lives are the real heroes on my team!


Supporting in my efforts to make a difference will go a long way. My personal goal is to raise double the amount TNT has asked me to raise, which is only $4,400. The money raised will further the research for the cure of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.


Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. For those making a donation by check, please make checks out to "LLS" or "Leukemia & Lymphoma Society" and send them to 1261 W. Mesquite St., Chandler, AZ 85224. I will send you a receipt of your tax deductible donation in the mail.


Sincerely and respectively,


Ben Wicke


P.S. I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. I thank you for your support; but the true thanks comes from those who fight for their lives everyday.
