Vin Wins Man of the Year

Remember last week's story about Vin Tormo? He was the karaoke singing nominee for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Man of the Year" title.

Well, I've got good news! Over the weekend, Vin won and became Man of the Year! His campaign team brought in a whopping $118,123 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Even better, the 18 Illinois candidates raised a total of $640,000. This shattered the previous fundraising record.


Congrats to Vin and all the candidates for all their hard work!! The money raised will help provide research, education and advocacy for blood cancers.

Here's the video of Vin getting announced as the winner. You can tell how hard his team worked by their reaction to his win!!!

With a heart as big as the whole country and a determination to make a major difference "paying it forward," was there ever any doubt that Vin would capture the honor that the rest of us already knew....You are the Man of the Year! Congrats Vin! RN, AMC
