You BET we are thankful at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. While it has been a rough year for many, we are some of the most fortunate people working in the US. The best incentives we can earn are hearing your success stories, watching the research grow, and giving each blood cancer patient a second shot at life. The mission is our passion, and we are so thankful for our jobs! Here are some amazing outcomes you have allowed us to provide:
- $245,000 of financial support to blood cancer patients in Georgia to offset the financial burdens of blood cancer
- 5 of your dollars now covers the costs to send a packet to a newly diagnosed patient, which includes information on support and their specific disease
- We have now started a national volunteer and support group called IMPACT for 18-25 year olds right here in our Georgia office. This group allows survivors and patients to heal together while giving back to others battling cancer.
- Team In Training (TNT) is the world's first, best and largest charity sports training program and to this date has raised over $900 million since 1988. Yup, we’re going to hit $1 BILLION (in my best Austin Powers voice) this year. Follow their new blog: http://www.teamintrainingga.blogspot.com/
- With a $100 donation, you support 1 round trip per day for 5 days for a patient living in rural Georgia to drive to treatment in Atlanta.
- $1.8 Million dollars and COUNTING were brought in by Georgia Light The Night walkers this year. That’s a whole lotta lives being saved right there.
- Money talks, and the dollar signs have been flashing since since 1949… The Society has raised more than $680 million in research. This specifically targets leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma
- Kids across the country have proven that they have a voice by raising more than $100 million over the past 14 years with our Youth and School programs… Quite the future we have coming at us!

Really, I could go on braggin for hours. But it’s not really bragging… it’s my expression of how thankful I am for your support and selfless giving! I am inspired each day by constant compassion… and I could go on and on, but I’m sure my simple words will never describe how thankful we are to represent you! So, hats off to you all this thanksgiving, cause it’s you (and my job) I am thankful for. Now go carve some turkey!
’Til next time kids, stay Relentless For A Cure!
