Racing to Save Lives
Dear Family, Friends, and Colleagues-
THANK YOU for visiting my Team In Training homepage!
I'm training to participate in an endurance event - the AFLAC Iron Girl Triathlon on June 28, 2009 - as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.
I am completing this event in loving memory of my grandmother, Vera Zamosky (pictured with me in 1989), who lost her brave battle with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) in 1995. Team in Training is also racing in honor of all of the individuals who are currently battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
I've set a personal goal to raise $3,400.00 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Please help me meet this goal. I ask you to be generous, but only give as much as you are able - every donation counts! The easiest way is to use the box to your right to make an online donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. All contributions go directly to the charity and are 100% tax deductible (a receipt will be emailed to you).
If you prefer to mail a check, please make it payable to LLS and mail it to me (if you need my address, please email me at amjackson@bellsouth.net)
I promise to keep swimming, riding, and running, our honored heroes will keep fighting cancer, and you will help by giving... Together we can make a difference!!!
Please bookmark my website and visit it often! Be sure to check back frequently to see updates on both my fundraising and training progress. Thanks SO MUCH for your support!
WHERE WILL YOUR DONATION GO?:
$25 pays for the cost of a patient's chemotherapy drug prescription co-payment.
$50 registers one person to be a bone marrow donor.
$75 provides bone marrow typing for a family member of a patient with leukemia.
$200 provides a Family Support Program for one year.
$300 trains 25 peer volunteers who can provide emotional support to newly diagnosed patients.
$500 provides patient aid (for medical treatment and travel to medical appointments) to a person with leukemia or a related cancer for one year.
