Team CURE is a group of supporters who, collectively as a group, are competing in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's annual 'Man of the Year' campaign. The 10-week campaign lasts from February 20 - May 1, 2014 We appreciate your support by purchasing a copy of this book. 100% of all book sales and donations are deposited directly into their campaign which supports The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Share this book and encourage others to support this incredible cause. (www.TeamCURENC.com) This year, the 'Girl of the Year' that Team CURE is honoring is Maddie Sargent, who at the age of eight was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After chemo and a bone marrow transplant, she's now five years cancer free As Maddie shared with us once, she "kicked leukemia right in the tail " It's individuals and stories like Maddie and my sister Michelle that remind us we cannot wait for a cure. We have to do something now to find a cure. Lives saved today are 110% a result from financial support in the past. You have made a difference by supporting our campaign and I, along with Team CURE, humbly thank you. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has invested nearly $1 Billion in research aimed at helping all blood cancer patients live better, longer lives. LLS will continue to support research and make a huge impact through their innovative and integrated funding programs, until every patient has a safe and effective therapy. Between 2000 and 2012, 28 of 67 cancer drugs newly approved by the FDA were developed first for blood cancer patients. LLS helped advance many of them. Last year alone, LLS supported research with a disbursement of $76 Million and also funded advocacy for lifesaving treatments as well as critically needed patient support services.
