The Hudson River Swim for Life is just 10 days away!
The final days will feature a countdown on this blog ending on the day of the swim. There is so much to be done in the next ten days to prepare, mentally, physically and spiritually. There are also just ten days left to bring in donations for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Last year alone, LLS invested nearly $64 million in cutting-edge research. Research that has led to advancements in the treatment of blood cancers and changed the outcomes for patients. An estimated 1,012,533 people in the United States are living with, or are in remission from, leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma.
Approximately every four minutes, someone new is diagnosed with blood cancer.
Approximately every 10 minutes, someone dies.
But we have 10 days left to do something!
If you haven't already donated, I hope you'll consider doing so now. I have set my goal at $2,500 and as of this moment I am still $1,175 from that goal. It's a big goal, but I know that together we can get there.
DAY 10 SPECIAL!For every $10 you donate you will receive 3 entries for the raffle to win an LLS sock monkey. Visit http://pages.teamintraining.org/wch/Hudson12/emilyg to donate.
