"Cancer sucks but we can do something about it"


Welcome to our Team In Training home page.


Loïc and I are committed to help find cures and better treatments for blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma.


After having focused on Loïc's health for two years, it's time for me to:


1 - Try to improve the quality of life of other patients and their families

2 - Get back in shape.


So I decided to join LLS's Team in Training program to raise at least $3,500 while running a half marathon for the first time!


This fundraising is very important for both of us, it would be awesome if you could make a donation, however small it is, in support of my efforts to help advance the search for better cures.


LLS is a wonderful organization: they have financed research in areas nobody believed in, with great success. They have for example helped fund the developpement of Gleevec, a revolutionary new drug that has completely changed how we fight leukemia, and has saved countless patients. Loic himself is taking a second generation drug that is inspired by gleevec. In addition, LLS is a very well managed charity, with only 7% of the funds going to running the organization, which is a small percentage for such an organization (it is usually around 20%). Every dollar is tax-deductible.


Please be part of this exciting event -- and please spread the word!

"Le Cancer, ca craint, mais nous pouvons y faire quelque chose!"


Bienvenue sur notre page de levée de fond pour la Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!


Loïc et moi sommes très impliqués dans la lutte pour trouver des remèdes et de meilleurs traitements pour les cancers du sang comme la leucémie, le lymphome, la maladie de Hodgkin et le myélome.


Après avoir mis l'accent sur ​​la santé de Loïc pendant deux ans, il est temps pour moi:


1 - D'essayer d'améliorer la qualité de vie des autres patients et de leurs familles

2 - De me remettre en forme.


J'ai donc décidé de rejoindre l'équipe "Team in Training" de la LLS pour récolter au moins 3500 $ tout en courant un semi-marathon pour la première fois!


Cette levée de fonds est très important pour nous deux, ce serait génial si vous pouviez faire un don, aussi petit qu'il soit, et ainsi soutenir nos efforts pour faire avancer la recherche de meilleurs traitements. Ce sont les petits ruisseaux qui font de grandes rivières!



LLS est une excellente association caritative: ils ont financé des recherches dans des domaines auquels personne ne croyait, avec un grand succès. Ils ont par exemple permis de financer le developpement de Gleevec, un nouveau médicament révolutionnaire qui a complètement changé la façon dont nous luttons contre la leucémie, et a sauvé d'innombrables patients. Loic prend d'ailleurs un médicament de seconde génération qui est inspiré du Gleevec. En outre, LLS est un organisme très bien géré, avec seulement 7% des fonds destinés au fonctionnement de l'organisation, ce qui est un petit pourcentage pour une telle organisation (généralement c'est plutôt autour de 20%). Chaque dollar est déductible d'impôt (pour les citoyens américains).


Je vous remercie de tout coeur de participer à cet évènement - et d'en parler le plus possible autour de vous!


Celia et Loic

"A great thing to do, if you want to broaden LLS' fund-raising territory, is to establish it locally. In France, 66% of donations are tax-deductible, and so money flows in more if you have a local entity that can issue a receipt. Wikimedia for instance, although not really French-based, issues these receipts, and I must admit that the amount I give every year is large because I only bear 1/3 of the cost of that donation. I don't know what it takes to establish this, but I would assume some paperwork and a local accountant / auditor that does the job. Marcel."
