Good luck to all of our

over $14,000 raised!
Keep it up everyone,
you’re all doing great!!
Holidays! I’ve talked
about this before but we
have one right around
the corner. HALLOWEEN!
There are a couple
different ways that you
can fundraise through
this door-to-door candy
collecting night.
If you’re already taking
the kids out, you can
dress up too! Perhaps
dress up as a blood drop
or something else in the
medical field. You can
immediately tell the
neighbors what you are
and hand them a
fundraising flyer. If
dressing up is too much
for you, think about
handing out candy that
you can tie a note to or
stick a sticker on that
parents will see. I would
suggest lollipops! Type
up one to two lines
about what you’re doing
and include your
fundraising link. Hole
punch a hole in each
small piece of paper and
tie it on. Most parents go
through their children’s
candy that night. This
will be eye catching and
will also let all of your
neighbors know what
you are up to! Anything
for a donation right!?

Someday is Today: Druker Strikes Again!
LLS and the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have launched a groundbreaking collaboration to improve outcomes for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.
The initiative, calling Beat AML, is being led by Brian Druker, MD, director of the Knight Cancer Institute. Also included in the collaboration are major technology companies: Intel, which is providing the "big data" computing technology, and Illumina, which is providing the advanced genomic sequencing. The goal is to identify the many mutations that drive AML and identify drugs that can target these mutations. The team hopes to develop a personalized therapy approach so that an appropriate and effective combination of therapies can be identified for each individual patient with AML. The collaboration was covered in The Wall Street Journal; you can also read more about it here.
Judy Lynch Makes the News!
Volunteers Still Needed: MHRM 10/13
Judy Lynch, who trains
in memory of her
daughter Katie, made
the Times Union
Newspaper this week!
She was highlighted for
her above and beyond
efforts for the Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society
through Team In
Training. Judy has raised
over $53,000 since
2009!
The humble Lynch said
“"It is so therapeutic for
me because I get so much
out of it. I'm giving to the
cause because it gives me
purpose," she says. "It
means something positive
resulted from what (Katie)
went through."
We love you Judy!! You
are an inspiration to this
Team and are so thankful
for all that you do!
