Racing to Save Lives

August 1st, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

I’m proposing a challenge -it’s to help make a difference in someone’s life. All I’m asking is to give up two lunches for the month. That’s $20. And donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It’s that simple.

My goal is to raise $4200 for blood cancer research- that would allow the opportunity for researchers to have funding to develop a cure, as well as assistance for those battling leukemia & lymphoma.

Visit my website and make a donation:

2 lunches. 5 Starbucks. That’s all. It’s also worth checking with your employer to see if they match funds- many do.)

Top 10 Reasons to donate:

  1. 10. It’s a chance to save a life, it’s a chance to make a difference.

  2. 9. It’s a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donation!
  3. 8. Leukemia is the #1 killer of children.
  4. 7. $25 pays for a patient’s chemotherapy prescription co-pay.
  5. 6. $50 will register one person to become a bone marrow donor.
  6. 5. $75 provides bone marrow typing for a potential donor.
  7. 4. $100 provides patient travel costs to the cancer center.
  8. 3. $150 provides aid to a patient for ONE YEAR.
  9. 2. $1000 will help the LLS fund a researcher to find a cure.
  10. 1. Today, through the work of the society and your donations, 712,000 Americans that would have undoubtedly died - are SURVIVING.

Thank you for helping, and I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

Have a great day!
