For those of you who remember, Last year the walk was in October, and we froze!! This year it is on September 26th at The Crossing Park in Colonie. I am prepared this year!! No Last minute scrambles for organization this time!!
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds lifesaving cancer research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and many other types of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, that have helped patients live better, longer lives. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving the quality of life. Without LLS, adequate, standard, and lifesaving treatments for Hodgkin's Lymphoma may never have been discovered.
But more research is critically needed:
-Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies.
-Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer.
-Nearly 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2007.
(I was lucky!)
-The survival rate for myeloma is just 34 percent.
