Hi Survivors-
My name is Pamela and I'm a two time Hodgkin's survivor (auto SCT in spring
2004). Currently, I'm doing some fund raising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society. More info is pasted below if you are interested!
With good thoughts to the list members,
Pamela
I'm helping the Oregon Leukemia and Lymphoma Society with a new event for 2005.
As you might know, the Society is a non profit group dedicated to fighting
leukemias and lymphomas. I’m a 34 year old two time Hodgkin's survivor, so
fighting these diseases is very close to my heart. Recently, funds from the
Leukemia and Lymphoma society were directly responsible for Dr. Brian Drucker’s
discovery of Gleevac, which is a life saving drug for thousands of leukemia
patients each year. The local need for this type of cancer research is large.
In Oregon, an estimated 17,280 Oregonians were diagnosed with cancer in 2004
(American Cancer Society). Every 5 minutes someone new is diagnosed with a type
of leukemia or lymphoma somewhere in the United States.
You can help me out in several ways. You can contribute to the campaign at
http://www.pamelaclark.info . Any amount helps, and I really mean that every
five dollar donation is important. The campaign ends on June 20, 2005. This
campaign is a competitive effort in Oregon to see who can raise the most funds
for the Society in a set time period, and I’d love to win this event because the
Society is so important to me. All donations are 100% tax deductible, and you
will receive a receipt for your tax records. Trust me, the Society can use your
donation in a better way than Uncle Sam!
You can also help me spread the word about this event. It would be wonderful if
you could circulate this email to your family, friends, and any group of people
that you might know. You never know who will be looking to donate for a great
cause, and I’m really counting on my friends to help with getting the word out
about this Society event.
This event ends June 20, 2005. Thank you so much for your support over the past
few years, and I really appreciate your taking the time to read this email!
With thanks,
Pamela
