Waddling to save lives! : )
Welcome to my Team In Training home page!
I'm training to participate in an endurance event 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 lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of my dad who died from cancer on November 12th, 2010. Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. Below are some facts I want you to know:
The Power of Your Money
$ 1000 supports one week’s salary for a medical researcher who may discover key information to developing curative treatments for blood cancers.
$ 500 provides a patient with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma with patient aid to support medical treatment and to travel to medical appointments for one year.
$ 500 allows 10 patients to logon to a webcast and hear the latest information in treatment for their disease.
$ 200 provides a Family Support Group Program for one year.
$ 150 allows 5 patients to make a First Connection with a trained peer volunteer.
$ 100 provides 3 patients access to an informational teleconference.
$ 75 is the average cost of tissue typing to become a bone marrow donor.
$ 50 is the cost of a CT scan.
$ 40 is the cost of sending a comprehensive packet of information for children with cancer.
$ 35 pays for transportation expenses for a patient to treatment at a comprehensive cancer center.
$ 25 covers a single prescription co-payment.
$ 5 is the cost of sending a newly diagnosed patient packet which includes information about their specific disease and support.
I have created a blog - www.adaughtersrun.blogspot.com - where I will be writing about my progress in training and the process of it as well. There, you will be able to check in with me, who I meet while training with the team and the lessons I learn along the way.
This is a wonderful and worthy cause. Please support it any way you can.
Love,
Carrie
