Glyn Morgan's 2024 LLS Visionary of the year campaign

Glyn Morgan's 2024 LLS Visionary of the year campaign In November 2013, Glyn was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma - a blood related cancer that starts in the Bone marrow.

Each year, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) launches its “Visionaries of the Year.”
fundraising campaign, and this year I am honored to be a candidate and today, I am writing to ask for your support in LLS’s mission to find cures for blood cancers. Glyn's bone marrow was compromised 70% with Myeloma cells resulting in reduced red and white blood cell count. Glyn began an intense schedule of chemotherapy at the Dana Farber cancer institute in Boston in December and underwent a stem cell transplant at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in March ,2014,

Now, ten years into remission, Glyn Morgan has accepted a nomination as a candidate for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Visionary of the Year 2024. To make this journey fun and easy to participate in, I have created “The Crush Cancer Crew” – a committed team of close friends and family. Together, we have set a fundraising goal of $50,000! The money raised will help LLS to create a world without blood cancers and also fund cutting-edge research and treatments. Over the next several months, Glyn will be organizing some great fund-raising events in his effort to raise as many life-saving dollars as possible. Please join this group to be kept informed of Glyn's campaign progress and of all the great community events coming your way!

As part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Visionary of the Year awards I am honored to receive the mission award for Patient Support & Education services.

LLS were actively involved during my bone marrow transplant in 2014 and featuring this pillar of services was an integral to Glyn Morgan's 2024 LLS Visionary of the year campaign.

During the campaign itself LLS provided an array of resources to make my fundraising campaign successful.

I'd like to thank Kim Denice, Elise McConeghy, Ashley Tryon, and Tara Rivard from LLS for the ideas, motivators, and guidance that helped me to raise over $18,000 for this great organization.

Thank You so much!!

Blood cancer strikes at any time - in fact every three minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood related cancer.

Ten years ago, it happened to me - it could happen to you, a loved one, or a friend. Having health insurance is one thing, having CURES is what makes a difference.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has invested over $1.7billion into research to find cures for blood cancers.

Please help me raise as much as possible for this amazing organization. Think of it as an investment for future cancer patients - every donation - no matter how small will help provide cutting edge research and patient outreach services.

It is with sadness that I have to announce the Funny4funds and Italian buffet event planned for this Sunday 28th at Fresco Restaurant in Smithfield is being postponed. I will post an update on the new date - it will likely be later in the summer or fall.

For those who have purchased tickets, they will be honored on the new date, or if you prefer, a refund can be issued.

Once again, I am sorry to have to postpone - but I look forward to setting a new time and date in the near future.

Many Thanks, on behalf of
