A letter from Beckie: Fundraising to Cure Blood Cancer

I’m once again working with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society “Team In Training” program, raising funds to cure blood cancer and training to ride 100 miles in June. Please donate to my TNT fundraiser!

I realize there are crises every day that demand our attention, but cancer is still not cured. Children like Beckett, our team’s Honored Hero this year, or adults, like my friends Darcy and Hal, battle chronic health issues.

Just because cancer, and specifically blood cancer, isn’t the crisis du jour, it doesn’t mean that the fight has ended. That is why I am fundraising for LLS.

Beckett, Darcy, and Hal benefit from the research and success powered by the fundraising of Team In Training. I’m fundraising for Beckett, Darcy, Hal, as well as for countless others, to cure cancer once and for all!

On the left: Team Matriarch, Johnelle Rhines (the team name is “Kalie’s Krewe” for her late daughter). In the middle: Darcy (mentioned in story). On the right: Beckie Jacobs.

Consider donating, and any donation, no matter the size, is important. Your donations fund treatments that save lives, like immunotherapies that use a person’s own immune system to kill cancer.

I am participating in Team in Training to ride 100 miles around Lake Tahoe in June. I ride, because many cannot. You can help too, by donating to my effort.

Again, every single donation helps save a life with breakthrough therapies for blood cancer. Beckett, Darcy, Hal, and I appreciate your support.

Obviously, it takes more than one person to make up a team. That is why I am asking you to donate to: Beckie’s Team in Training Fundraiser

Thank you! - Beckie Jacobs, Owner
