For over 17 years I’ve been reaching out asking my family, friends and total strangers to find it in their hearts to help find the cure for cancer by donating whatever amount they could afford to THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY to support my physical efforts in endurance events running, biking or doing triathlons with TEAM IN TRAINING. So many incredible, amazing, and wonderfully-generous people have done so believing that their dollars to the mission to save lives could make a difference…that it has!
In 1975, before I ever started this odyssey, my NYC roommate told me her brother had died from leukemia when he was only five years old. He didn't stand a chance!
When I did my first event with LLS/TNT in 1997 the survival rate for children diagnosed with leukemia was 80%. My brain somehow just couldn’t compute that 20% of children would still die. I thought of my friend's brother. So, like Don Quixote, I embarked on a quest..."to dream the impossible dream”...setting out to do whatever I could to save lives.
I am overjoyed to say that I haven't been
tilting at windmills all these years.
In April 2014, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society announced that the survival rate for children diagnosed with
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia [ALL],the most common form of leukemia is now 90%.
It's not just great news for childhood leukemia! Every day LLS-funded researchers are developing new treatments and potential cures for leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and many other forms of blood cancer with cutting-edge targeted therapies. What's so exciting is that these treatments and therapies are being used to fight other types of cancer and treat diseases for which there were previously no cures. Survival rates are climbing for many of them.
I SINCERELY THANK YOU IF YOU HAVE EVER MADE A DONATION TO
THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY
BECAUSE YOU FUNDED THIS LIFE-SAVING WORK.
We don’t yet have the cure for the remaining 10% of children for whom there is currently no cure? So, what about them?
Therefore, for the 35th time I am asking for your help if you, like me, believe in "the impossible dream" that we can eradicate cancer, especially blood cancer, in our lifetime to find the way to save all the children.
