If you look to the right sidebar, you’ll see a donation button for Team in Training<\/a>, which is an organization which raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society<\/a> by training teams of runners and cyclists for major full and half marathon events and cycling centuries around the country.<\/p>\n

My wife Heather has an aunt who is a lymphoma survivor, and her cello teacher, Stephen Kates<\/a>, succumbed to the disease in 2003, and a mentor of hers, cellist Bert Phillips, a longtime member of the Philadelphia Orchestra and founder of the Luzerne Music Center<\/a>, passed away from the disease in 2009.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Stephen Kates (2nd from left) with Heather (2nd from right) and other students from his cello studio at Peabody Conservatory.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2007 she did the full marathon to raise money and pay tribute to her aunt and teacher, and this fall she will be doing a half marathon<\/a> here in Portland to continue to raise money for this amazing organization.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The LLS has important ties to the Portland medical community.\u00a0 They helped to fund clinical trials for the important cancer drug Gleevec\/Glivec run by OHSU oncologist Brian Druker<\/a> confirming the drug’s efficacy in fighting chronic myelogenous (or myeloid) leukemia (CML).<\/p>\n

So, if you’re so inclined, click on the ‘Donate’ link to the right and help further the cause of cancer research and patient aid through the Leukemia & Lymphonma Society.<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
