Hey there! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. You may already know my dad's story. In October 2023, shortly after returning from a trip to Hawaii, my dad visited the ER for some scary symptoms. A few days later, he had a large mass removed from his abdominal area. The mass was confirmed to be lymphoma: Non-Hodgkin's diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Specifically, he had a type called double expressor, which is known to be aggressive. He underwent the standard treatment: 6 rounds of chemo (his was called R-CHOP). Unfortunately, the masses continued to grow as he continued chemo. The hope was that he could try CAR T-Cell treatment through Fred Hutch. However, on July 14, 2024, his journey (he refused to call it a battle!) with cancer ended. He was surrounded by his family and jazz music. He's now our guardian angel, encouraging us to go on plenty of bike rides. I'm participating in the Big Climb because I miss my dad every second of every day. I hope my family and I can live to see a cure.

About LLS:

Please join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Thanks to your support, my efforts, will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today.

LLS's continued advancements over the years are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled.

And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!
