“Blogging for Blood Cancer” August 11, 2008

The first annual “Blogging for Blood Cancer” event will take place from August 11-18, 2008. This first time event will bring bloggers from across the United States together to raise awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and its mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

The event is being hosted by Goodies for Mom (http://www.goodiesformom.com) in conjunction with the Friends of Heroes National Light The Night Team (http://www.friendsofheroes.org). Bloggers will be posting on their blogs throughout the event about the importance of the LLS mission and share personal stories of those they have come to know who have been affected by blood cancer. All bloggers participating will be entered to win prizes donated by event sponsors. Visitors to the Goodies for Mom and Friends of Heroes blogs will also have opportunities to win as they learn more about the importance of LLS’s research and patient services in the fight against blood cancer.
