| Some members of my campaign team! |
As many of you know, over the past seven weeks I've been fundraising for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The organization nominated me (and 13 others) as candidates for its 2011 "Man & Woman of the Year" campaign. We've all committed to raising money to help fund life saving blood cancer research and patient services. The fundraising culminates on May 20th with a gala at Hyatt McCormick where the winning fundraisers will be announced.
In these last few weeks of fundraising, I'd like to share some of the inspiring stories I've heard over the last couple of weeks. I've met family members of those who have lost their battle with cancer; I've spoken with people who have been diagnosed and are still fighting; and I've interviewed survivors who have opened up their hearts to share their stories.
I'd like to start by sharing the story of Janine Mills. Janine is a leukemia survivor who became a pediatric nurse to help give back. She currently lives in Bartlett with her husband. Take a look:

Great story, Sarah. Glad Janine is doing so well!
