Hello, my name is Ross Youngman and I am trying to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through the Team in Training Organization. Team in Training is such an unbelievable organization that is helping to find a cure for blood cancers throughout the world through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. What Team in Training does is it raises awareness and funds for the LLS so that they can continue to do research to help find a cure for blood cancers.


Let me give you a few facts on what they are trying to defeat:


1. There is an estimated 137,260 people in the US that would have been diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma in 2010. That is about 1 person every 4 minutes.

2. There are currently 259,889 people living with, or in remission from, leukemia in the US.


The survival rate has seen tremendous increases since 1975 for all types of blood cancers, and that is the direct result in the studies that organizations like the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society do, and with the help of Team in Training, they can continue the research to one day find a cure.


As you all may know, my girlfriend Jenene was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in February. She was in the hospital for about a month receiving chemotherapy treatment. She is now out of the hospital but is still visiting the clinic and receiving treatments. She will be back in the hospital at the end of May to receive a Stem Cell transplant and will be there for about 4 to 8 weeks. If you would like to know more about her recovery, please visit her blog at: http://neeners-updates.blogspot.com/.


I am hoping that you all can find it in your hearts to donate to this wonderful cause that I feel very passionate about.


Here are a few ways that you can donate to help me raise the $1,500.00:


1. Have a check or money order payable to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and mail it to:

Ross Youngman

3543 SE Belmont St

Portland, OR 97214

2. Visit my Team in Training website and make a donation with a debit or credit card: http://pages.teamintraining.org/oswim/portland11/ryoungman


All donations are tax deductable and you will receive a Thank You letter and a receipt from the LLS.


Thank you and Go Team!

Racing to Save Lives!


Aloha, and welcome to my Team In Training home page.


I'm training to participate in the 2011 Portland Marathon 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 all individuals who are battling blood cancers, but I am also personally running for my girlfirend Jenene Philips, who has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. She and all these people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!


Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.


I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. You may also send check and money orders made out to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to me at 3543 SE Belmont St, Portland OR 97214.
