Childrens Mercy and LLS Holiday Party

Saturday December 12, 2009, Lauren Sage was thrilled to be helping for the second year with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Holiday Party. Painting faces and passing out candy canes was so much fun!!! All the children received a gift from Santa! There were inflatbles and crafts, cookie decorating, dancing, a wonderful lunch and more. The children and their families were able to set aside their worries if only for a moment and enjoy each other and all the festivities! What a blessing to be a part of such a wonderful event.

Blood cancers such as leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes are cancers that originate in the bone marrow or lymphatic tissues. They are considered to be related cancers because they involve the uncontrolled growth of cells with similar functions and origins.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society invests $61 million annually in support of more than 200 researchers, provides financial assistance to patients, sponsors scientific conferences around the country, produces educational materials and videos, and runs over 50 support groups nationwide. Because they receive no federal funding, they depend on us for continued support.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is committed to finding cures for leukemia and related diseases and improving the lives of those affected by these diseases.
