This is my blog that I'm dedicating to posting about research, treatment, and generally new findings about the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I'm pissed off that my sister has this awful cancer and I want more people to be aware of it!

What a Great Boyfriend!
When Sheryl was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2007, her boyfriend Martin Laver was there to stand by her side. He cared for her into recovery, and a few months later she her cancer went into remission. Then they got married, but Martin didn't stop there.
He organized a 900-mile bicycle ride with three of his friends. The trip took ten days to complete and they covered the entire stretch of the British Isles. Cumulatively, they "helped raise £14,000 for Cancer Research and the Lymphoma Trust Fund at City Hospital," the hospital where Sheryl received care.
