Raising money to save lives …introducing the Mighty Micah 7^th grade LLS Saving Lives campaign!

We are raising money for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, or LLS. The mission of LLS is to: “…Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.”

Leukemia, Lymphoma and the related diseases effect bone marrow blood and lympnodes suppressing the production of normal blood cells leading to anemia, immune deficiencies, and bleeding. From the help of research many people have survived from both leukemia and lymphoma. 

Of particular importance, LLS provides financial assistance to families and people with leukemia or lymphoma who can’t pay their bills. LLS helps the families when they need it most.

Over 1,000,000 Americans are living with Leukemia and related diseases. That’s the challenge we face. The good news is that YOU can help!! Visit lls.org to learn about:

• Ways to donate financially

• How to participate with Team In Training

• Signing up to volunteer or walk at the 2015 Light the Night Walk

• Becoming an ADVOCATE for the LLS

Our Talmud teaches us: If the community is in trouble, a person must not say, “I will go home, and eat and drink, and my soul will be at peace.” A person must share in the concerns of the community as Moses did.  Those who share in the community’s troubles are worthy to see its consolation. (Talmud, Ta’anit)

Your support of the LLS, whether it comes in the form of dollars or time, is an amazing way to make a difference, show your concern and help to relieve the troubles of others. Together, we will make a difference. Please help our Micah 7^th grade team save lives!
