Happy Hour 2/27 #goodreason2drink

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training is on a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. These treatments can also lead to possible cures for other types of cancers. Like the other members of TNT, we will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for the blood cancers. This disease has impacted the life of someone we love dearly and that is why we are running the NYC half-marathon on March 16^th as part of Team In Training. You can learn more about this organization at http://www.teamintraining.org/nyc/.

How serious is blood cancer?

Every four minutes, someone new is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies.

Getting a bone marrow transplant is the only fighting chance a blood cancer patient has right now to make a full recovery from this disease.
