My
beautiful daughter-in-law has joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team-In-Training
to run a half marathon in honor of my late son and her husband Allan Mello Jr. I have written about my sonshine here before. November 3rd will be the
anniversary of his passing, Allan Jr. having died after a too short battle with
a very rare T-cell lymphoma.
Always the
meddling in-law I would like to do everything possible to support her endeavor
so I am sharing this information in hopes that there will be some who might
lend a hand and make a donation toward her fundraising efforts. I’ve written my check and only wish I had
much more to give. But since I don’t, I
don’t have any qualms about asking for a little bit of help.
This incredible young
woman has raised two amazing children without her life partner. She continues to amaze and delight me with
her fortitude, her spirit, and the sheer will with which she has persevered. My son loved and adored her and she has done
him and the entire Mello family proud.
As part of her
mission baby girl is looking to raise $3,800 help
find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.
She is running for a cause and with everyone’s
support can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families as
well. Every dollar
helps get a step closer to finding a cure for cancer.
So, please, won’t you DONATE?
