Blogging for Blood Cancer

Blogging for Blood Cancer The first ever, annual Blogging for Blood Cancer event starts tomorrow! I wish I had heard of this cause sooner, but as soon as I stumbled upon it over at Goodies for Mom, I immediately signed up.

The Blogging for Blood Cancer event is hosted by Goodies for Mom in conjunction with the Friends of Heroes (FOH) National Light the Night Team in hopes of bringing United States bloggers together to raise awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and its mission to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin’s Disease and Melanoma as well as to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

This is an excellent cause to hop on board for and I will most definitely be participating this upcoming week. I have personally seen what Leukemia and Hodgkin’s Disease can do; how tragic and merciless the diseases are and how an entire family and support system for someone who has these diseases are affected, so raising awareness and helping the Leukimia & Lymphoma Society is very important to me.

If simply blogging to raise awareness about blood cancer isn’t enough, Goodies for Mom has lined up several prizes for the bloggers who take part in this event, so head on over and sign up to start blogging for blood cancer and win some awesome prizes! Also, be sure to check out the other bloggers who are participating and don’t forget to check back here to read what I’ll be posting throughout the week.

    Hi, I had never heard about Blogging for Blood Cancer until I stumbled upon this web site. I have a blog (graceryoung.com) which focuses on disability issues as I have post-polio syndrome but I also have Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I am very fortunate in that I have the indolent type and Rituxan has been a godsend. Thanks for the publicity for blood cancers.

  • What a great way to get the word out about such a devastating disease!This seems really cool!

  • Cancer is not a single disease with a single cause of treatment. In fact, there are more than a hundred diseases. Each type of cancer has its own name, symptoms, causes, behavior and treatments. All cancers involve abnormal growth of cells.

  • Cancer says:

    According to a report, 2 in 4 people will develop cancer during their entire lifetime; cancer is not common in children or young people it mainly occurs in the later years of life. Cancer can occur at any age, but mostly the risk of developing the cancer increases as and with the age.
