Day 95 of...98 Days...Where does it go?

This is a very good question regarding why even consider supporting this campaign and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  It can best be described by a personal story that I read in an e-newsletter I received today.

David Burns even before his initial diagnosis with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) at age 35, he dedicated his life to teaching martial arts and the value of physical and mental fitness. He went through two rounds of bone marrow transplants which seemed to take effect and put the cancer in remission. At that point David went back to work and became an active community volunteer. His love and service for others has always shown through and for years, as a cancer survivor, he spent time motivating others who were going through treatment. He also wanted to give back by raising money for funding research and ultimately a cure so  others would not have to face what he had gone through.

Little did he realize he was not only raising money for research and a cure for others but for himself as well because tragically, after 14 years David's cancer came back. Recent chemotherapy has put him back in remission, but the thoughts of a third bone marrow transplant in his future, are now part of his daily life. Still, he retains his optimism, living each day to the fullest and doing the things that make him happy which, of course, involves people. He expresses gratitude for the support of many people in his community, who are rallying 'round in this new phase of his cancer treatment; and to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) as well. "Over the years," David says, "I think I've read every piece of literature LLS publishes on AML. The more information the better when it comes to battling cancer. And last year, we received a check from LLS to help pay for treatment-related expenses. Since I am not currently working, those dollars were very helpful."

I could share literally thousands of the same type stories.  Blood cancer comes out of nowhere can attack what  seems to be the healthiest of individuals.  They go through the painstaking process of  battling back and in this case twice and then they believe they beat it because it goes into remission.  But then it comes back with vengeance.  So to answer your question where does your donation go it goes to not only funding research to find a cure and sometimes the where does it go it also goes towards helping those fighting fund treatment when they can no longer afford it.  Please Donate Now!
