Our Favorite & Important Links


Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - In our lives, and probably yours, too, we have been touched by someone with one of the white blood cell cancers, Leukemia, Lymphoma, or Multiple Myeloma.  This society primarily funds research to find novel drugs and treatments for the blood cancers and is worthy of your support. Our bass player, Patti, participated in a marathon on Feb, 2006 in Austin, TX as a fund raiser for the L & L Soc. and was the 4th highest  individual fund raiser for this race. She raised $5000 the hard way, with no matching funds.

The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation also funds research to find a cure for Multiple Myeloma (cancer of the bone marrow), a less well studied and understood blood cancer. Go to their website for more information and to make a donation to this organization. Over 90% of the money they raise goes to research.
