As you might already know, my mom Valia Vassila passed away from her fight with Lymphoma. I miss her every day and am constantly reminded of blood cancers and the challenges those patients face with treatments and interventions. There is still no cure, and it is never too late to give back to this cause. I am taking on Team In Training’s Resilience Challenge to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. I will conquer 50 miles throughout the month of September, Blood Cancer Awareness Month, while fundraising and raising awareness for blood cancers. Blood cancer patients need our support now more than ever in these challenging times. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is at the forefront of the fight against cancer and provides critical support to blood cancer patients across the country. I invite you to be #TNTRESILIENT in the face of cancer by making a donation or by joining me in this challenge!
