I'm humbled by the amount of generous support I received either through direct donations, assistance and participation in my events, or just consistent encouragement. I'd like to thank each donor for their generosity, especially in these tough economic times. No recession blues for you...you guys ROCK!
Every donation, regardless of the amount, helps make a huge difference in the lives of patients, and funds research that brings us one step closer to finding a cure. Here are a few examples of how your generous donations may be helping the cause:
$1000 - Supports 1 week's salary for a medical researcher who may discover key information to developing curative treatments for blood cancers.
$500 - Provides a blood cancer patient with financial assistance for one year.
$500 - Allows 10 patients to log on to a webcast and hear the latest information in treatment for their disease.
$200 - Provides a Family Support Group Program for one year for a patient and their family.
$150 - Allows 5 patients to make a First Connection with a trained peer volunteer.
$100 - Provides 3 patients access to an information teleconference.
$75 - Is the average cost of tissue typing to become a bone marrow donor.
$50 - Is the cost of a CT scan
$40 - Is the cost of sending a comprehensive packet of information for children with cancer.
$35 - Pays for transportation expenses for a patient living in Northern California’s most rural areas to treatment at a comprehensive cancer center.
$25 - Covers a single prescription co-payment.
$5 - Is the cost of sending a newly diagnosed patient information about support and their disease.
And now the names of the generous donors & supporters who helped me raise more than $2700...
