The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society – a huge charitable organization that Corey Ribotsky has been supporting for many years – does so much for so many sufferers. Earlier this month, one of their sufferers – who has been a survivor for 26 years – spoke of the tremendous help she received from the LLS. 28-year old Georgia Cleland had leukemia at 2-years-old. More than two decades ago, the survival rate was a mere 55 percent. But Cleland beat the odds and a few weeks ago competed in her very first half-marathon, really proving how she has beaten this disease. She did it through an organization called Team In Training (part of the LLS) which her father founded in her honor 23 years ago. It was thanks to Mr. Cleland that the LLS’s Team In Training has had such a huge impact on the marathon runners and research into blood cancer.
The LLS continues to help so many people. All the support it receives – from individuals such as Corey Ribotsky – is tremendously welcomed.
