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!

Haunted Party Raises Money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Carol Woods is no stranger to the horrors of cancer. She lost her uncle and brother to the disease. Her 53-year-old brother-in-law is currently battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Frustrated by the devastation brought on by cancer, Carol decided to begin a fund-raising operation for the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Instead of organizing a marathon or a bake sale, Carol decided to go for something a little bit spookier: a haunted costume party. On October 23, she held the 5th annual haunted costume ball for cancer research, complete with a costume contest, raffles and live music. Now that's celebrating the Halloween season with a healthy dose of activism! To view photos of this event, click here.
