A call to action. A cry for help. An opportunity for you to realize your power to give strength to someone affected by a blood cancer (Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma). Get involved. Make someone stronger.
#MakeMeStronger is for each of the individual “me’s” that make up the collective “we” who are affected by cancer. Each person has a story. Each person has been moved to action for a reason. And each action taken has made someone stronger. We choose to celebrate the actions that make people stronger, and aspire to inspire other people to take actions within their control to give momentum to this movement for strength.
There are patients who are waiting for a match and don't know if they'll find on.
There are patients who have found a match, but their donor has declined to move forward.
We choose to give hope to these patients and their families by raising awareness. We choose to believe that "When nothing is certain, anything is possible."
Together, there’s no telling what we can do. As a Team, we can combine efforts to give patients a fighting chance!
Team Make Me Stronger will be running the New York City Half- Marathon on March 16th, 2014 as Members of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training program with one common goal to honor and benefit all individuals battling blood cancers. We will help raise funds to find cures and more effective treatment for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. As a team, we can accomplish great things towards cures for blood cancers.
As Team Make Me Stronger we will also be working on educating people on the life giving gift of a Bone Marrow Donation.
Your Donation to our cause will go a long way in helping us achieve our goals! We thank you for your generosity!
