I am raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) as a participant in their Team In Training program and I'm asking you to help by making a donation to my fund raising campaign.

There are a ton of fundraising programs out there to chose from but this one in particular caught my eye because my grandmother is currently battling myeloma for the second time. It was first caught about four years ago by a doctor at Kaiser Permanente in Sacramento, CA. Unfortunately it was not caught until the third stage. She has gone through much pain and suffering especially since it was caught so late. Among other things, she has struggled constant lethargy, nausea and loss of her beautiful hair. But through all of this her suffering, her number one priority was to love all of her children, grand-children and great grand-children will all the love she could possibly give. She's one of the sweetest, most generous people I know and someone so kind doesn't deserve to go through all of this. No one does. I addition to my grandmother having cancer, my mother, mother's father and his mother have all battled cancer in the past. Luckily they are all in many years of remission; with the exception of my great-grandmother who has since passed away but did die of natural causes. All I can hope is that my grandmother, Tomasa, will also be able to be in remission soon and for many years to come.

Each donation helps accelerate finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. More than 823,000 Americans are battling these blood cancers. I am hoping that my participation in Team In Training will help bring them hope and support.

On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you very much for your support.

I greatly appreciate your generosity.
