Team Charlotte is in honor of Charlotte Rogers. Diagnosed with high risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia at just 8 months old, she endured 2+ years of chemotherapy at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago. Now almost 4 years old, Charlotte is a happy and smiling toddler with a sense of resiliency not many can match.
We will each conquer 50 miles throughout the month of September, which is both Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Blood Cancer Awareness Month.
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.
