Almost 5 and 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer, Lymphoma. It was a shock to say the least. I found a lot of support from my family and other organizations that helped me get through that trying time.
I have been cancer free for five years now. Thinking about this milestone in my life I wanted a chance to give back and have found a wonderful program through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training. The LLS mission is: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins’ s disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. I along with my brother and three sisters are training with them to run a full 26.2-mile marathon, and we have pledged to raise $25,000 which will contribute to research, support, education and patient services to those battling cancer. We're not asking you to run a marathon with us, but there is a way you can support us and the many others fighting for this cause. Let’s show cancer who’s boss and make blood cancers history. We can do it. Together.
Please check out our blog @www.fiveintraining.com. This is where you can track our training progress, celebrate our milestones and feel our pain as we increase mileage. We encourage you to support us by clicking the “donate now” link at the bottom or right and chipping in for our worthy cause. You can pay securely online with Paypal. Any amount will be helpful. Spread the word. Our August 1st goal (a quarter of the total amount) is quickly approaching. We’d love to make blood cancers history! We think we can- one step, one mile, and one marathon at a time. Let’s do it, together.
Sincerely,
Runner #1- Sunny (Fuller) Dorow
