People have been asking me what I want for my birthday next week...and there really isn't anything I want except for donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Your donation can help save lives, and that would be the best present ever. I'm halfway to my goal of $8,000, and with all of my friends and family's help I know I can get there.
