I want to speak with you about a cause that is important to me. I am honored and humbled to have accepted a request to join the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) 2022 Man & Woman of the Year campaign. I am writing today to ask for your support of my efforts to help LLS ensure access to cures and treatments for blood cancer patients.

LLS’s mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Its research has also helped advance treatments of many types of cancers and autoimmune disorders.

I am competing with several other Long Island Man & Woman of the Year candidates. Together we will each put our best fundraising foot forward in honor of two courageous children, Aiden S. and Reese P., our Boy and Girl of the Year.

While childhood leukemia has the highest cure rate of any blood cancer, it is also the number one disease killer among children under the age of 20. This needs to change, and I know that as we come together and partner with LLS that we will find a cure, not someday, but today!

Every dollar I raise is a vote to cure cancer. My team and I have a goal to raise $40,000 by May 11 and we could use your help to get there!

I humbly ask you to join us by choosing to make a tax-deductible donation to LLS.

So many of us have blessed lives and wish for that to continue. I view this as an opportunity to give back to those who could use it the most.

I hope you will join us in the fight for a cure by donating.
