I’m training to run a half marathon for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), to raise life-saving funds to help those fighting blood cancers through an organization called Team in Training (TNT). I will be running in San Diego on May 31st.
The money raised by TNT participants has enabled LLS to fund millions of dollars of research to help advance new treatments and cures for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and provide critical education and support to cancer patients and their families.
Nearly 50% of all cancer drugs approved by the FDA during the past decade were for blood cancers. And they are helping other patients as well. Five of those drugs have been approved for patients with solid tumors and others are being tested for other indications.
Survival rates for children with leukemia have improved from 3% 40 years ago to 90% today; Hodgkin lymphoma patient survival rates have more than doubled to 88% since the 1960s. And the survival rate for myeloma patients tripled in past decade.
Please help! You can donate to my event at: http://pages.teamintraining.org/cpa/rnr15/dave
Thanks.

PS - I'll be in San Diego all week for the event. Any HTFer's in the area want to get together let me know.
