Why is this important?

Some may want to know why increasing the awareness of blood cancers is important to me. Well because I have Multiple Myeloma. Understand that every 4 minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer and every 10 minutes someone dies from a blood cancer. Nothing can get done if we all just sit down and be quiet. Well who is we? We- those that are diagnosed with any blood cancer, those who have a family member diagnosed with any blood cancer, or those who may have a friend that has a blood cancer. With the limited funding and no preventative tests for blood cancers, by the time a person goes to the doctor with symptoms they have Cancer.

These blood cancers could be Multiple Myeloma, Hodgkins-Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

For your healing or your loved one: According to information that I gathered at the 9^th Annual LLS Blood Cancer Conference it has been noted that a person with Cancer is known to do better if they have any type of spiritual connection.
