I'm Participating in Celebrating Long Lives to Support Those with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Thank you for supporting my participation in CLL Society's Celebrating Long Live virtual 5K! On May 13th I'll be participating in a 5K in support of the 200,000 individuals living with the incurable blood cancers chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL).

All funds raised will go to the organization CLL Society, a 501c3 nonprofit, whose mission is to address the unmet needs of the CLL/SLL community through patient education, advocacy, support, and research. To learn more about the work of CLL Society, visit https://cllsociety.org/.

Last June I was diagnosed with CLL after a CT and PET scans along with blood tests. With no serious symptoms I'm in "watch and wait." And when I do need treatment, the DC Area CLL Support Group and the CLL Society have given me confidence in the promising new treatments available. In the meantime I have quarterly blood tests and consultation with my doctor. I also enrolled in NIH's Natural History Study for MBL/CLL, SLL, LPL/WM and SMZL patients. The NIH is another source of information on CLL and new treatments that are becoming available every year.
