Hello Friends and Family!
This year my good friend Kirsten Werner is running for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man & Women of the Year and she and I are asking for your help ….WAIT, keep reading…there is an excellent reason for this.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Man & Woman of the Year (MWOY) campaign is a fundraising competition in communities across the U.S. in which participants vie for the title of Man or Woman of the Year. They raise funds for blood cancer research in honor of local children who are blood cancer survivors, the Boy & Girl of the Year-because everyone wins when cancer loses. The titles are awarded to the men and women in each community who raise the most funds during the ten-week campaign; the top local fundraisers in the country also win the national titles. You can aid in their efforts by donating to or joining their campaigns not someday, but today
.But wait! There is MORE!!!!
Before you dismiss this email thinking “I can’t afford to donate any money right now with the economy the way it is,” I want you to consider a few things…
1. People don’t stop getting cancer when the economy is in a slump. Now more than ever, LLS can use your help. The money you donate not only goes to fund research, but it also financially helps families deal with the cost of hospital stays and medication, which (as many of you know) can be substantial.
2. Everyone can use another deduction on their taxes. 100% of whatever amount you donate to LLS is tax-deductible. Plus, 75% of the money you donate goes directly to fund research and patient services. That’s one of the highest percentages out there among charitable organizations.
3. If that doesn't inspire you, how about this: Leukemia is the No. 1 disease killer of children under 14 years of age and strikes 10 times as many adults.
I am asking for your financial support in my pursuit to raise funds to find a cure for leukemia and other blood-related cancers.

I hope you will find it in your heart to contribute to the fight against leukemia and other blood cancers again. Your donation can make a difference in someone’s life.
Thank you for your generous support.
Go Team!
