I recently heard on the radio about the team in training group that is part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma society.

" So far it's amazing. They are very supportive and its a big family. Many people do it every year. It's amazing to see people that are raising money for people like us just because they want to help. I am proud to have joined and am very excited to raise money for the research that might cure us one day and no more Gleevec. LOL. "
