Please Help If You Can

Hey everyone. I wanted to get this out to as many people as possible.
Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia.
I was fortunate in that my sister was a genetic match, and my bone marrow transplant was a success.

I am running the New Jersey Marathon on May 4th in Long Branch, NJ.
I'm running with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop
leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this event in honor of all individuals who are
battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

More of my story can be found at my online donation page.
Every little bit helps, $5, $10, whatever you can do is really appreciated!

Finally, the most important thing you can do is sign up to be on the bone marrow registry.

I was lucky enough to find a match for my bone marrow transplant, but every day there are still thousands of people looking for a match.

THANK YOU!
