LLS Man of the Year

Today begins my campaign for the Leukemia and Lymphoma's Man of the Year. It is a 10 week campaign that will end June 9th. Basically, he who raises the most money, wins. Below is the intro to my LLS letter. For the 2 of you who read this page, you already know.

In 2008 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.I will never forget the phone call I received on March 27, 2008. Jacqueline and I were leaving for our annual vacation in Florida that evening and the PA called me at 1pm. She said she hated to do this over the phone, but she felt like I should know as soon as possible. She told me that I had Lymphoma. The shock turned to fear. Not fear for my life, but how I was going to tell Jacqueline. 10 years prior, Jacqueline lost her father to cancer. The next three weeks were hell. I went from test to test. Every day was a new test. With each test, we had hoped that they would find out that they had made a mistake and I didn’t have cancer. But with each test, it only reaffirmed the fact that I did have cancer. I spent the next six months going through 12 rounds of chemotherapy. I lost my hair, I lost my eyebrows, but I didn’t lose my will. It was a very trying time for our family. My only hope is that your family will never have to go through the same experience.
