WELCOME TO MY TEAM IN TRAINING (TNT) HOME PAGE!

It takes more than one person to make a team and that’s why I’m asking you to donate to my TNT fundraising page for TNT!

 

As a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training (TNT), I am raising funds to help improve bone marrow transplants (BMTs) for all patients who require them - including those with blood cancers and other conditions.

 

I'd like to introduce you to my friend Ezra (https://www.facebook.com/Help4Ezra). Ezra's mom is one of my best friends from college and is a very distant cousin. He has a primary immune deficiency called Hyper IgM Syndrome (his own B-cells make only IgM) so he can’t fight most infections.  Ezra has had TWO bone marrow transplants. The first (May 2012) was a total failure, and the second (August 2013) seems to be holding. He just hit a major milestone: Ezra had his first haircut (at age 5 1/2), which is pretty impressive, as he was a bald baby and has had those two BMTs. Watching him deal with the pain, his fluctuating cell counts, and especially side-effects from the meds he has to take, is so difficult. He’s a trooper, though!

 

LLS funds research on drugs that prepare the host to receive a BMT and tests to check if the graft cells have taken hold - advances that are applicable to all BMT patients, whether they suffer from blood cancers or any other condition requiring a BMT. I’m lucky to have found this organization that does so much to help so many people, including my friend Ezra. 

 

Every single donation helps save a life with breakthrough therapies such as these. Patients need these therapies and they need your support.

 

Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training.

 

Thank you!
