Inspirational Stories

I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in January 2023. I am very thankful for all the research that has led up to medications and treatments that I am able to benefit from today. God has a plan, and I feel a large aspect of that plan is bringing together those with needs and those with resources to help. It is so overwhelming to me to understand that there are those who support this wonderful research even though they don't have a name or face to tie it to. Through their generosity, people like me can continue living. Many of us wake up, get up, go to work, come home, go to bed, and repeat. I was one of those people no doubt. Each day is an absolute gift from God, and through my diagnosis, I have grown to fully appreciate all that is around me. I am so thankful to the countless people who give lovingly not even knowing my story, who give not knowing of the receivers who will need help down the road, but continue to give to change lives. Thank you for your gift. I will forever cherish it.
