Running for a Purpose

Hello everyone, I'm participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's   Team in Training event this year. Here are the details on what I'm trying to accomplish with the help of this site, and your kind generosity:

Team in Training is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's key yearly fundraising and athletic training event, with the purpose to raise funds for research into cures for Leukemia, Lymphoma, Myleoma, and other blood-related cancers as well as patient services for those affected by these tragic diseases.

I need your help in raising as much money as I can to help these people going through so much already, and this is a cause that is so close and dear to me. I am a cancer survivor myself (Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma) and am now close to my 5th year of being in remission. I am also running for a fellow survivor, Charlie Peters, and his family here in Omaha, Nebraska. Charlie's big sister is also his hero, for she too is a recent survivor of a blood-related cancer as well.

You should be happy to know no less than 75% of all your tax-deductible contributions to the non-profit Leukemia and Lymphoma Society goes directly to fund patient services and research in helping to save lives!

I'm looking forward to your support, and so is Charlie Peters, the honored patient I'm running for. Thank you for visiting, check back soon!
