Graf to run marathon for LLS

Submitted by Casscounty2 on

Agent Jerry Richardson, president of RVOS Lodge #232, presented a donation to Laronda Graf for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Laronda is running in the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in Washington, D.C. next month as a member of the Team In Training program which raises funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).  
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services. LLS has invested more than $750 million in cancer research. Research funded by LLS has led or contributed to advances such as chemotherapy, bone marrow and stem cell transplantation and new, targeted oral therapies.
Richardson challenges other local businesses to support this important cause.
“Cancer has touched most people’s lives in some way and we would all benefit from advances in treatment,” Richardson said.
