***Donations will be accepted starting March 13th***

Thank You for Visiting, Now I Hope That You Will Donate Money: Why?

Sure, I would like to win the fundraising contest but more than that I would like for cancer remissions to become longer and medicine to get better, especially for Leukemia & Lymphoma type illnesses.

Funds raised by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Man & Woman of the Year participants are used for:

-Lifesaving blood cancer research

-Financial assistance to cover patient expenses for transportation, medication and testing

-Free educational materials and events for patients and their families

-Local programs such as Family Support Groups and First Connection, a peer-to-peer counseling program

-Comprehensive, personalized assistance through our Information Resource Center

This is about fundraising for a good cause. So give freely. Give often. Give generously.

If you can handle a few bad words, please read my post about cancer on my blog.

DONATE MONEY FIRST, then you can read this blog article I did some months back on my recollection of some of my cancer days:

(Bad Word) if You Have Never Had Cancer!

 If you are a prudent, charitable person or corporation then yes you should donate because of the tax consequences and warm fuzzy feelings.

Here is the canned material and information:

Welcome to my Man & Woman of the Year home page!

I ask that you join me by making a contribution to my fundraising campaign. Each dollar I raise counts as one vote and the candidate who gets the most donations is named the local Man or Woman of the Year. I am raising money in honor of The Boy and Girl of the year, local children who are blood cancer survivors.  I truly hope to help find cures for blood cancers.  All donations are greatly appreciated. Your donation is tax deductible and will support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society programs, including research, patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services.

Many thanks for your support for patients battling blood cancers and their families. Be sure to visit my Web site often to check on my progress and please ask your friends to support my efforts. Join me and help advance the mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
