WELCOME TO MY TEAM IN TRAINING (TNT) FUNDRAISING PAGE!

It takes more than one person to make up a team; that's why I have joined up with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team in Training (TNT) program.  By participating as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) TNT, I am raising funds to help find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients.  

 

I have been tasked with raising $2,900 (I am trying to surpass that goal by raising $3,000) by October 8, 2015.  With your help, I will reach that goal.  In mid-October, I will be running a half marathon with many other ambassadors from across the United States, all of us with one common goal -- declaring an end to blood cancers.

 

As I go through training, I think about the individuals (1) who are in their battle -- the father of one of my employees (and most recently, the son of a couple in my local running club), (2) who have been through the fight and are trying to get back to life before diagnosis -- a dear brother in Christ and minister of the Gospel in Stephenville, Texas, (3) who were diagnosed and are now without evidence of disease -- a dear sister in Christ in my hometown, and (4) who have lost their battle with this horrible disease -- the daughter of a former co-worker.  We all can think of someone who has been impacted by cancer, and it should ignite a fire in us to want to do all we can to put an end to it.

 

When I joined my local chapter of Team In Training, I was blessed to meet Sydney, a beautiful young lady who courageously fought and won her battle with this disease.  To hear her story brought tears to my eyes.  There are also members of my team who have successfully fought their battles with cancer.  

 

I am running for a reason, and it is my hope that you will financially support this cause by making a tax-deductible donation through my page.

 

Some troubling statistics:

  • Approximately every four (4) minutes, someone new is diagnosed with blood cancer.  Approximately every ten (10) minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer.
  • An estimated 957,902 people in the United States are living with, or are in remission from, leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma.
  • Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children under the age of 20.
  • Lymphomas are the most common blood cancers and incidence increases with age.
  • The survival rate for myeloma is only 38.5 percent. Incidence is nearly twice as high among African Americans as for all other races.

 

Your donation will help fund treatments that save lives every day; like immnuotherapies that use a person’s own immune system to kill cancer. You may not know it, but every single donation helps save a life with breakthrough therapies such as these.  Patients need these cures and they need your support.

Please make a tax deductible donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help get us all closer to a world without blood cancers.  No gift is too small and collectively makes an impact.  So, give today! Together, we can make a difference!

 

Thank you!

Cynthia Carter
