Why This Man Is Alive Today
Here's a photo of my beloved George, eating a steaming stack of his world-famous pancakes. (I've eaten them, and folks, they are the best.) George would never have lived long enough to make those impossibly fluffy whole-grain delights had it not been for research supported by this worthy organization.
Almost four years ago, George woke up with a tennis-ball sized lump near his right hipbone. The diagnosis: nonHodgkins lymphoma (aka cancer of the lymph system) -- in his case, an especially aggressive type that, untreated, can kill within months. He underwent half a year of chemotherapy which was resoundingly successful. George has been clean now for three-and-a-half years. (And now you know why I, MONA LISA was and THE BLOODIEST QUEEN is late.)
When you are giving during this holiday season, will you please consider The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society? It's a fantastic organization which offers patients education and support, including financial aid.
George and I thank you.
