Why you should donate $1 to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

As you know I'm fundraising for the The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). I want to reach my goal of $2,600 by June 1st.

Why should you donate $1?

• An estimated 912,938 people in the United States are living with, or are in remission from, leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma. 
• Every four minutes, someone new is diagnosed with blood cancer. 
• Every 10 minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer.
• 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 37.1 percent. Incidence is nearly twice as high among African Americans as for all other races.

What does the LLS do with your money? What has the LLS done?

• LLS has invested more than $680 million in research, approximately $69 million in fiscal year 2009 alone.
• Programs like the Specialized Center of Research (SCOR), which brings together teams of scientists from different disciplines and the LLS Translational Research Program, which funds research with a high probability of producing innovative patient treatments in an accelerated time frame, have directly contributed to many breakthrough cancer treatments.
• Research funded by LLS has led or contributed to advances such as chemotherapy, bone marrow and stem cell transplantation and new, targeted oral therapies such as Gleevec®.
• The LLS provides critical information and support for patients and their families:
• LLS has made 4.9 million contacts with patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals in fiscal year 2009, through it's Information Resource Center (IRC), it's award winning Web site and community-based patient service programs. 
• The LLS puts people together with experts through Web-casts and teleconferences, and provided professional education through seminars, to extend the latest findings to a broader professional audience.
• Advocating for issues impacting blood cancer patients:
• With more than 20,000 advocacy volunteers throughout the country, our voice is being heard by those responsible for legislation to fund blood cancer research and educational programs.

All of this information can be found on the LLS website at www.lls.org. 

I urge please donate $1 on my fundrasing website  for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and pass the link on to your friends. The change you have lying around in your pocket can save someone's life. 

This July I become a Half Ironman to find a cure for Cancer.

This year I decided to race in the 2010 Whirlpool Ironman 70.3 Steelhead Triathlon this July in Benton Harbor, MI. More importantly I’m doing this to raise money for cancer research.

	In March of 2002 my Dad, Bob Sr., was diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to a combination of radiation and chemotherapy he survived. On Christmas Eve 2009 my Dad had a heart attack. The Doctors told my family that one of the contributing factors of my dad’s damaged heart was his cancer treatment. My Dad survived again and in my mind became Ironman for facing death twice.
Me with my Dad, AKA my hero and mentor

So I’m racing a half Ironman as a member of Team In Training to push myself to my limits, just like my dad and every other cancer patient that had to keep going to cross their own finish line and become healthy again. I’m raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) because it’s believed that once we find a cure for blood cancers other cancer cures won’t be far behind. Besides, I want to find a better cure so every cancer patient doesn’t need to be cured and then face another health challenge.

LLS has invested more than $680 million in research, approximately $69 million in fiscal year 2009 alone. Programs like the Specialized Center of Research (SCOR), which brings together teams of scientists from different disciplines and our Translational Research Program, which funds research with a high probability of producing innovative patient treatments in an accelerated time frame, have directly contributed to many breakthrough cancer treatments.

So PLEASE donate at least $1 on my fundraising webpage. My goal is to raise $2,600 for the LLS by July1st. Look out for other fundraisers through this blog and my twitter page.

For example,  my Party at Pump It Up Glenview on Monday June 21. Kids are $15 and Adults are free but asked for a $5 donation.

Goals for 2010 Illinois Half Marathon

For my upcoming race, the Cristie Clinic Illinois Half Marathon, in May I have high hopes. After I finished Rock N Roll Mardi Gras in February a part of me felt disappointed. I had fun, the proof is on my friends Facebook profiles. A part of me wanted to hit close to my PR. So the voice in my head told me to do a half marathon before I give into to my Steelhead Half IronMan training. This is the competitive side of me. The nut job part of me that says to go longer.  The same voice in my head that is telling me to do Ironman Madison in 2011.


I've been training hard. On my long runs I've been hitting 8:00 to 8:30 minute per miles paces. I've been training with 1 mile to 30 second intervals. I expect to finish between 1:44 and 1:50 May 1st. This race no beads, no head phones, no wig. It's going to me, my Team in Training Jersey, shorts, shoes, socks, sun glasses, Power Bar Gel, Garmin Watch, and hand held water bottle.  I just don't want another long distance event under my belt. I want one that says I gave it my all and pushed my self to my limits.
