My Goofy Challenge I am training for The Goofy Challenge!! I have committed once again to fundraise for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. My goal is to raise $4200.00. I have also committed to running a Half Marathon (13.1 miles) on Saturday, January 9, 2010 & a Full Marathon (26.2 miles) on January 10, 2010 -the next day as reward for my fundraising. Some people call this GOOFY and others have different adjectives for it. I will complete my journey. DID YOU KNOW..... "GIMME 5" 5 is the number of years that some blood cancer patients have to stay in remission in order to be considered cured. $5 can get you a latte at Starbucks or a beer at your local bar, but to see how $5 makes an impact on cancer patients, check out how every dollar really does count: If 2 people gimme 5.... $10 provides two hours of microscope use to determine if a new medicine will stop a life-threatening lung infection in a bone marrow transplant patient. 4 people.... $20 pays for a bottle of nutrients that will nourish 10 million leukemia cells grown in the laboratory for a week, enabling scientists to test whether a new anti-cancer drug halts their growth. 8 people.... $40 purchases enough razor-sharp blades to prepare bone-marrow biopsy samples from 200 patients, enabling doctors to make accurate cancer diagnoses. 20 people.... $100 pays for the cost of an antibody used to determine the precise characteristics of lymphoma cells, allowing doctors to determine the best treatment for a patient. 50 people.... $250 buys an instrument to measure tiny volumes of liquid, which allows scientists to accurately measure the solutions needed to prepare a patient sample for a diagnostic test. 100 people.... $500 purchases 10 hours of time on a flow cytometer, a machine that reveals a multitude of characteristics of blood cancer cells that could be developed into effective diagnostic tests Every 5 minutes someone new is diagnosed with a blood cancer - money for research is desperately needed - so PLEASE donate now. And many thanks to those who have already donated!!!
