How Your Donations Help

In case you're wondering how the money you donate helps those facing blood cancers, here's an idea of where your donation money could go:

• $25 could pay the taxi fare for a patient's ride home from the hospital after treatment
• $50 could register one person to be a bone marrow donor
• $75 could provide HLA (bone marrow) typing for a family member of a patient with leukemia
• $100 could pay the cost of 4 patients' chemotherapy drug prescription co-pays
• $300 could train 25 peer volunteers to provide emotional support to newly diagnosed patients
• $1,000 could allow a patient to meet with health care specialists to design and discuss their disease and treatment plan
• $3,000 could provide a patient with a one month supply of Gleevec (a life-saving drug, developed through LLS research funding, used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia)

Every dollar helps! No donation is too small! Please visit my Team in Training web page at http://tinyurl.com/marathonwoman to donate or find other ways you can help.
