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

    "Carrie, I so sorry for your loss. I work at Sports Radio 670, The Score, in Chicago, and I worked with your Dad for several years handling the marketing for the fly fishing expo. He was a good man. He wrote a really nice testimonial letter for me; I really appreciated it. My dad and I also fish and enjoyed attending his expo. Good luck in your event! I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. -Beth "
