YEAH! I am impressed and overjoyed at the generosity of friends, family and strangers that helped me reach and surpass my goal. Apparently last week I had the highest percentage of growth over my previous week's donations, and I received this wonderful email this morning-
"On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), I want to congratulate you for reaching your event fundraising goal. Our records indicate that to date, you have raised $2,380.00 for your event, Solvang Century which will be held on Mar 14, 2009.
Since its founding in 1949, LLS has invested more than $600 million in blood cancer research. We fund more blood cancer research than all other voluntary agencies combined. An LLS-funded researcher developed Gleevec, a pill for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). Now, more than 95 percent of newly diagnosed CML patients survive more than five years with a good quality of life. LLS was also instrumental in the development of Velcade, the first new treatment in more than a decade to be approved for patients with multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma.
Thank you again. Your support is helping blood cancer patients live longer, better lives.
Sincerely,
John Walter
President & CEO
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society"
