Pennies for Patients


Today was the kickoff for our "Pennies for Patients" campaign, which helps benefit research to cure leukemia and lymphoma, two rare blood cancers that have a high rate of affect in children.  Every penny, nickel, dime or quarter that is donated goes to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which funds blood cancer research around the world.
As was alluded to this morning, twenty years ago, the prognosis for someone diagnosed with leukemia or lymphoma was grim.  Now, with the help and support of all your change, there has been major advancement in the treatment of these serious diseases.  So, please, any change you have - drop it off in the jar on my desk.
