LLS funds more blood cancer research than any other voluntary health agency. Many LLS-supported advances help beyond the blood cancer patients for whom they were first developed.
LLS support was instrumental in the development of Velcade®, the targeted treatment for patients with multiple myeloma, now also approved for mantle cell lymphoma.
LLS-funded researchers discovered the value of combining Rituxan® with standard chemotherapy resulting in the first survival rate improvement in 25 years for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
An LLS funded researcher developed Gleevec®, a pill for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Now, 95% of newly diagnosed, chronic-phase CML, patients survive more than five years with good quality of life.

SAN DIEGO MARATHON – CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
A HUGE congratulations to all of our San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and Half Marathon finishers!! You have officially joined 1% of the world’s population to successfully complete a marathon event!! You have truly made this a special season, and we hope you consider joining us for a future event soon.
Nationally, Team In Training raised over $12,000,000 for San Diego and I’m proud to say that $174,178 came from OUR TEAM!! Currently, we have raised $221,377.88, which is 89% to our goal of $250,000. When sending your thank you letters/emails please consider telling your friends/family to donate in honor of your accomplishment, and, even though you have reached your goal they are still welcome to donate on your webpage (or via check) as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is still looking to reach it’s goal of curing blood cancers. Also, (especially those of you still fundraising) send a follow up email to those who have not donated saying you completed your event, an overview of your race, and how you would still appreciate their donation. Many past participants have been successful with this type of post-event fundraising.
Please note that your reimbursement deadline for San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll is July 6, 2010. All you need to do is email Lindsey R a request to reimburse you and she will take care of everything. It will take 2-3 week to receive your reimbursement via check in the mail. You can only request one reimbursement and you can only request up to the amount you were charged at final funds. Please let Lindsey know if you have any questions about reimbursement policies.

Please bring your training singlet if you got it from kickoff, if you don’t have one yet, you will be able to pick up yours on Saturday. Please put your name on it (front & back- big enough to read from a few meters away) so that we can all get to know each other fast! We will have sharpies at practice if you would rather have us write it on for you. We will also be taking photos of all the team members for our gallery so it helps to have your name on your singlet
You will need to wear workout clothes to practice for the pace assessment. HOWEVER, do not feel you need to go out & buy any special shoes or clothes right now. We will have shoe & apparel clinics in the first few practices to give you some pointers on how to select your gear.
Looking forward to seeing you ALL!! GO TEAM!
