Leukemia and Lymphoma Cancer

My Mother died from Lymphoma and later that same year my son was born. He never had the opportunity to know her and yet she lives within him.

Then 25 or so years later he found a wonderful girl that lived 2,230 miles away. He left his mother and I to pursue his happiness and found it. After a few years they married and now have two beautiful children.

Then some bad news came when his father in law was diagnosed with leukemia and passed away. The next year he realized that 6 of his personal friends were in someway diagnosed with these terrible diseases. One of them lost his battle and passed away. It was then my son decided to do what he could to help stop this terrible disease that does nothing but takes away the possibility of families living happily together.

When he called to tell me his decision to do this I was more than moved. I reminded him of the grandmother he never met and mentioned that she died from lymphoma many years ago. He was surprised and I think it alarmed him that this has been going on for many generations.

He has taken the challenge of running 26 miles in order to raise funds for this cause. Bear in mind he has never done anything like this before. This will take him 5 months of weekly training to accomplish this. There are not enough words in the english language for me to express how Proud of my son I am.

Please help my son raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
I mean it when I say even a dollar will help with this great cause. Please CLICK HERE RIGHT NOW and help us keep families together.

Sincerely
Jim Cottone
