Meet Justin




Justin is one of the strongest guys I've met. He has already beat cancer once, and now he's bravely battling it again. Justin was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in 2007 and underwent 3 years of challenging therapy. This January, only 1 year after completing therapy, Justin was readmitted to the hospital and found that his leukemia had relapsed. Justin is once again undergoing chemo and living in the hospital. His closest family live over an hour away and while they visit when they can, this is often only every 1-2 weeks.

In June, I will run the San Diego Marathon to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of Justin. This will be my first marathon, and while I know that training will be hard, it is nothing in comparison to what Justin will be doing.

Please support Justin with your comments and messages of hope. Please subscribe to stay updated on Justin's progress.

Also, please consider supporting research for developing better treatments for this disease by donating to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and sponsoring me as I train for my first marathon! Help me reach my goal of raising $3,000 in honor of all those who are battling blood cancers.

Thank you!!

Best regards,
Lina
