I can tell you why I am doing this. It is really quite simple. Leukemia killed my dad and my mom died from complications due to her cancer treatments. I remember when my dad was in the hospital undergoing chemo. He said, “Don’t feel sorry for me, I have lived a full life. I feel bad for the young ones that are in here with cancer. That’s just not right.” I will always remember those words and I will always continue the fight.

Why should you donate? Because the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society does so much to help those fighting cancer and more importantly, they are helping in the research that will find a cure. The overall five-year relative survival rate for leukemia has more than quadrupled since 1960. With our help, LLS can continue to help patients and do the essential research to crush blood cancers once and for all.

I am asking you again today, please help me reach that goal. Together we can help beat cancer! Your contribution of $20, $50, $100  or whatever you can spare will go a long way toward finding a cure.
