I also don’t make decisions blindly. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, founded in 1949, is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to blood cancer. In 2012 it invested $68 million in research. Charity Navigator rates it 3/4 stars overall and 4/4 in accountability and transparency.
By the Grand Finale Gala on June 14, I will be 11 years cancer-free from my second cancer, which was (shocker) a cancer of the blood. Therefore, my goal is to raise $10,000 for each cancer-free year, totaling $110,000!
I will need help. Although donations to help save the lives of people like me are the primary support, I’ll also need:
- Friendly conversation;
- Motivation;
- Candy for sustenance;
- Coke Zero for elation; and
- Most importantly, help reaching other communities for more donations to help save lives.
Sincerely, your friend and hopefully future Milky Way champion,
Ben
