Hannah and Caitlyn (and Whitney!) did really well promoting LTN this morning… TV Stars, one and all! Click below for more photos!
Hannah and Caitlyn are scheduled to be on Austin’s Fox Channel 7 at 730 AM THIS THURSDAY to talk about Team Pink and LTN!
Kick it in to high gear! C’mon people! If you have been on the fence about donating, NOW IS THE TIME! The Society MAKES A DIFFERENCE - There are children and adults SURVIVING these diseases TODAY that would not have lived even a decade ago because of this work.
Yes, times are tight, and the economy is disappointing. The person that could save the economy, invent the alternative fuel that gets us off oil, etc. may just be an infant or toddler with one of these blood diseases, or the son or daughter of someone afflicted… it’s not that incomprehensible a thought…
Five bucks. Ten, Twenty, whatever!?!? It’s more than we had before you donated. It all adds up. Click in the upper right.
No single raindrop believes it is responsible for the flood… be one of our raindrops!

The TEAM PINK girls were invited to watch the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Regatta today. They had a blast watching the sailboats! The Walk is just TWO WEEKENDS AWAY!!! Sign up!!! Donate!!!
Donations = Research = CURE!


Team Pink Tees coming down the pike! Here is the design!

First we got 1,000 now it’s 10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all of you guys who have donated!!
If you still haven’t joined you still have plenty of time to join and start raising some funds!!
I also want to let those of you who are reading this from LTHS for service hours, the link is the top one on the list of links on the right! Thanks to all of you who join and come walk with us!
Keep on joining and fundraising!!
~Hannah
p.s. I have a facebook so if you have any questions please add me or email me!
Hello everyone!! I hope your fundraising is going GREAT!!
**UPDATE**
Team pink is coming along swell!! We have quite a few donations now! We’ve been recruiting at church, and need to email our walkers!! Caitlyn is going to ask permission from her principle to see if I can set up a table during lunch at her school so I hope that works out!
Just thought I’d give you some more ideas as we are starting the home stretch:
If you haven’t already, now is a wonderful time to start recruiting, Some fun ways are to set up a table at your church, sports club, or even school (with permission). Don’t forget about those e-mails!! Send them out to people who you think would like to walk!
If you have any questions feel free to post them or email me at hanstrand@earthlink.net.
Thanks for all of your ongoing support!!
~Hannah!
I just found out two more friends have been touched by these diseases. Doggone it, that makes five people I know at this very moment battling blood cancers. Four of them diagnosed in the last year. People, Donations fund research for a cure. OUR money makes a difference. CLICK THE DONATE LINK ON THE RIGHT.
Sante G, known as fishnbanjo, is one of the foremost experts on bamboo fly rods in the world, and a great guy. He runs the Classic Fly Rod Forum, and just started chemo. Banjo, our prayers are with you.
Mark is a friend from Medford, and a fixture on the Rogue. Sculpin, you’re in our prayers. Get better, and back on the river.

So what can you do?
DONATE. NOW. Ten bucks, twenty five. More. I’m serious when I tell people that this makes a difference. Donations = Research = CURE.

The donation and join team pages were down at at active.com, the company that does that for the Society most if not all day yesterday. I checked early this morning, they were up and going again.
Sorry for those who tried to donate (I got a couple emails…)
