Fundraising Kick-off

Did you know that in the United States alone, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer every 4 minutes and someone dies from one every 10 minutes? Though there have been enormous strides made to cure blood cancers, there is still some work to be done. Over the years, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has invested over $680 million into research, patient advocacy, family support, and information services. This has only been possible through generous donations by people like you!

Today marks my official fundraising kick-off in support of the LLS. My goal is to raise $5,500 so that I can run the Paris Marathon as a member of the Team in Training in April. For every dollar that I raise, more than $0.75 will directly support the mission of the LLS.

I need your support to reach my goal. Please consider giving today in one of two ways:

1. Cash donation. Click the "Donate Here" link on the right side column of this blog to access my TNT fundraising website. Here, you can make a donation using a credit card. All donations are tax-deductible.
2. Cash-less donation. Through January, I will be donating all proceeds from my online shopping mall, ShopLikeLisa.com, to support my fundraising efforts. Bottom line, if you are planning to do any online shopping this holiday season, you can contribute to the cause, just by making 2 extra mouse clicks! Stay tuned for more details this week.

I appreciate your early participation with my fundraising. I know that times are tight for many people right now, so all generosity is greatly appreciated.

With gratitude, Lisa
