Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) - Woman of the Year

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) is an amazing organization dedicated to find lifesaving cures for blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and Hodgkin’s disease that strikes not only adults, but also our children. Casey Tippens Delaney has been nominated to campaign for LLS’ Woman of the Year. She is truly inspirational, motivating, and a phenomenal woman. Her own personal story and connection with leukemia through her cousin is very touching.

Please help support Casey by donating to LLS in honor of her cousin and to award Casey as Woman of the Year. Whether it is $5 or $500, a gift of any amount makes a huge difference! Click on the link below and give for all who have and continue to fight blood cancers.

Thank you for supporting this important campaign and organization.
