This page has been set up as a Memorial Page for Greg Melendy to honor his 8 yr battle with Leukemia. Donations through this page will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in their mission to find a cure and to support victims of blood cancers.
Greg was diagnosed with Philadelphia positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in October of 2004 and endured 8 yrs of treatment including chemotherapy, radiation, multiple surgeries, multiple relapses and a Bone Marrow transplant in January 2009 followed by severe complications that kept him hospitilized for nearly 7 months. Due to the toxic chemotherapy treatments, his immune system often failed to protect him and infections would put him back in the hospital for antibiotic treatments. Greg required brain surgery last December, to relieve pressure on his brain and leukemia was discovered in his cerebral spinal fluid. He finally succumbed to the disease and complications on January 21, 2013.
Throughout his treatment, Greg was inspired to continue his fight by the enthusiasm, drive and dedication of each athlete in their training and by the support and committment of the staff in order to find a cure. He enjoyed joining the team at events when he was able. Sharing pizza and conversations about music and movies after track workouts was often the highlight of his week.
Greg's family will be forever grateful for the love and support from all the members of Team in Training and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
