We have been married for 3 years and within that time, have watched two dear family members battle cancer. Fortunately, both of our family members are in remission, but we decided to do something more to help others who still battle this disease every day.
We joined the Hike for Discovery which is a non-profit endurance training program that benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). In exchange for the preparation and training we will receive in order to hike the Grand Canyon in September, we’ve each committed to raising money for the LLS. We are currently fitness training for the big hike and working towards raising $9,000 to meet our fundraising goals.
The money we raise will not only go towards finding a cure for blood cancers (such as leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma), but it will also pay for support groups, educational programs, and financial planning for afflicted families.
