My husband and I have joined a program called Team in Training
and have committed to raise $7,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society (LLS), a national health agency dedicated to finding the
cause, treatments and cures of leukemia and related cancers such as
lymphoma and myeloma.
My husband and I have joined a program called Team in Training and have committed to raise $7,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), a national health agency dedicated to finding the cause, treatments and cures of leukemia and related cancers such as lymphoma and myeloma. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. It kills more children between ages 2 and 15 than any other disease. Over 100,000 Americans will contract leukemia – and more than 57,000 will die from leukemia or its related diseases this year, making it the fourth major cause of death in this country. We know Hollister can help us exceed this commitment.
We are doing our part by training over the next four months to participate in an endurance event (Dan will be riding 200 miles from Seattle to Portland, July 18 to 19, and Christine will be running a marathon, 26.2 miles, in San Diego on June 6).
Please join us in helping the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society attain their goal. We will not succeed without your support and well wishing. A minimum of 75 percent of all donations will go directly toward Leukemia research. Since the LLS is a 501 c(3) non-profit organization, all donations are 100 percent tax deductible. We will accept any donation you are able to give. Checks should be made payable to: The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and mailed to Dan and Christine Sloand, 1131 Nez Perce Drive, Hollister, CA 95023. If you have any questions or are interested in a corporate sponsorship or know anyone else that would be interested, please contact us at
da*******@ya***.com
or christineasloand@yahoo.
com.
In closing, we just want to thank you for anything you can do to help this truly worthy cause. Training for and running in a marathon and cycling 100 miles will be a challenge, but it is nothing compared to the challenges that others face as they are battling with this disease and are forced to confront on a daily basis.
Receipts will be mailed to you directly from the accounting firm handling the fund raising.
Christine and Dan Sloand,
Hollister
