Eileen's running the NYC on November 3




I am running my 3rd, and last, marathon on Sunday, November 3, 2013 with Team in Training in support of the Leukemia and Lymphona Society. Please join me in supporting the Leukemia and Lymphona Society, one of the most effective nonprofits in the United States.

As many of you know, I have 3 close family members who have been affected by leukemia, including my Great Aunt Ann (who died of leukemia) and my Uncle Dave (who is living with a manageable form of leukemia), and I am running the New York City Marathon in their honor. I am also running to recognize the work of our dear friend, Aki Yokoyama, who is one of the leading leukemia researchers in the world.

Over the years, I have seen so many of you run, bike and fundraise with Team in Training, I've always said to myself that I would do it, too, and finally, I am. But, now I need your help.

I have a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I’m running the New York City Marathon, in my former hometown, and as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. Like the other members of TNT, I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. I’m improving the quality of my life, my family members’ lives, and by participating and with your support, I can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families as well.

Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures.

As of July 14, I am 5% to my $5,000 goal. With your support, help me reach the 50% mark by August 3, an critical fundraising milestone.

You can go to this link to safely make a donation online.

Together, we can save lives.

Thank you so very much,


Eileen
