Seize The Day Walk To Cure Blood Cancers

One goal of this organization is to raise money for research to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and other blood cancers.  The other equally important goal is to give support and hope to those battling a blood cancer, recognize survivors, and remember those who have lost the battle. 

Watching my mother battle leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome for two years inspired me to do everything possible to strive towards a cure or more effective treatment which hopefully will eliminate the need for chemotherapy and it's undesirable side effects. 

An annual walk and day of fun provides a ray of hope and support for those undergoing treatments and, as a result, creates new friendships and happy memories during this challenging time. 

Building awareness and comradery encourages others to contribute to the cause and realize the positive impact their kind actions can make on patients and the community.

All proceeds go directly to Mayo Clinic Hematology Malignancy Research Program, Be The Match Bone Marrow Donor Program, and Gift of Life Transplant House - Rochester, MN.
