Apr 11, 2014

With the marathon days away, I just learned that a dear family friend was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).  Sue Nichols and her family lived across the street from us in California.  Our families spent many a Thanksgiving together and both families ended up relocating to Alabama.  My father worked for Roy Nichols for many years (as did my brother and sister) and the company was incredibly good to my father during his illness, and to us after he died.  In connecting with Sue's daughter Lisa, I found out that she was diagnosed with Waldenstrom Macroglobulemia (a form of lymphoma) in 2010.  Below is a picture of Sue (center) and her daughter Michelle (left) and Lisa (right).

My father's story has provided me incredible inspiration during my marathon training this winter.  However, knowing that these two beautiful, special women are currently battling this disease gives me even more strength.  Every dollar I raise will go to critical research that will fund remissions like Lisa's and research into treatments like Sue is undergoing right now.  While running the marathon on my birthday is a huge gift for me, your support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society will be a gift to courageous people like Sue and Lisa, and others impacted by blood cancers and will enable them to live long, healthy lives.  

Mar 27, 2014

On May 26, 1985, Jim Kyser ran the final race of his life. One year later, he died of lymphoma at the age of 53.

 

On April 21, 2014, I will turn 50, and to honor my father’s life and the life he gave me on this day, I will run the Boston Marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

 

Please help me celebrate him and my 50th birthday by contributing to LLS. My goal is to raise $8,100 to commemorate the 81 years he would be today.

 

Donate today so that others may reach their 81st year and beyond.

Thank you!
