1. children2. grand children3. friendsi walked for leukemia this year, when a good friend of mine was diagnosed with acute, it's a serious slap in the face when, YEAH, IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.and then throw out the statistics of how people's donations and activity are helping save thousands every year on account of improved research technology.

1. Leukemia can strike anyone, young or old.2. You may have lost a loved one to it3. There is more than one cause/type of Leukemia and researchers are getting close to finding causes, but not quite there yet.

I work with Oncology patients and believe me, leukemia is a terrible cancer to go through. If you are well enough to go through chemotherapy, you're often in the hospital for at least a month while your body tries to recover. The patient is usually in isolation because their white cell count is so low, that anyone with a cold or flu that comes in contact with them could literally kill them. Just when they're well enough to go home...it's time for the next round of chemo.So I would get involved in fighting leukemia for:1. The people who already have been diagnosed.2. The people who will be diagnosed in the future.3. Yourself...since you're lucky enough to be in good health and you want to give something back to the community.
