My sweet sister made me aware of an organization and she has decided to do something that is so sweet, selfless and heartfelt. She has organized a small group (We and Mrs. Jones) and is raising funds to walk for blood cancers this Thursday the 17th in Omaha, Nebraska. Yay Wendy!
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has a yearly event in several major cities called "Light the Night Walk". This organized event raises money for the cure and treatment of Leukemia and Lymphoma. I intend to get involved with this next year too, as I believe cancer is too common today. We need to do what we can to combat this disease not only for those of us that are currently undergoing treatment but also for the future of the ones we love. There were walks earlier this month in Atlanta and Athens, and I am sure there will be walks next October in the Atlanta area as well.
I encourage you to take a look at this website, and if you like, you can click on ways to participate or donate. If you do decide to donate by Thursday, please be sure to search on - "We and Mrs. Jones".
