It's been a while since I've posted anything and even though I have SO much I want to share, I'm pressed for time at the moment, but I wanted to share more of our video trailers and say something about the campaign that is about to begin (March 6, 2014 - May 17, 2014), The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Man and Woman of the Year campaign.
The Man & Woman of the Year (MWOY) Campaign is a ten-week fundraising competition held each spring, among community and business individuals, where each candidate’s fundraising total is kept confidential until the Grand Finale Celebration where the winners will be announced in the company of peers, family and friends. This year’s Grand Finale is on May 17th, 2014.
After 9 years with LLS's Team in Training program, I am honored to be nominated to join their MWOY campaign in memory of my beautiful baby sister, Liz.
From March 6 – May 17, my team is raising funds to support blood cancer research funded by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. If we raise $50,000 by May 17th, we can choose, and link, my sister’s name to an LLS-funded researcher, to honor her fight, and to help people with blood cancers today.
Though survival rates for Hodgkin’s have improved greatly over the years, we still lost Liz and out of the 9,200 newly diagnosed cases in 2013 (1 every hour), approximately 1,180 (3 a day) lost their battle. This is unacceptable.
That's why this campaign and getting that research grant is SO important! It won't bring my sister back, but by funding future research, maybe we can save some other family the pain of losing their Liz.
