Letter From Monica:

Hello! My name is Monica Oliver. I’m a candidate for the 2012 Man & Woman of the Year sponsored by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It is definitely an honor to be nominated and I’m extremely excited and humbled at the same time. I’m very passionate about this organization because my son was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) a Blood Cancer on 11/17/09. Two days prior to the diagnoses, he was running and flipping at a birthday party and within 48 hours our lives completely changed. The disease does not run on either side of his family so when they gave me the news, the first words out of my mouth was“whats that?” I honestly didn’t know. So my goal is not only to raise money for the organization but MOST importantly bring awareness regarding what this disease is, how it affects so many lives around the world, including those in our very own community. I wouldn’t want any other parents to go through what I’ve been though but if they should, my purpose is to equip them with the knowledge beforehand. This will enable them to be more aware and educated on childhood cancers and on the various ways we can all help those affected beat the odds! If you are interested in donating, please visit wi.mwoy.llsevent.org/moliver or contact me directly at 414–795–0223.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
