Lea's Foundation

About Lea's Foundation
In 1998, Lea Michele Economos, a young woman who died of leukemia at the age of 28, made a dying wish to her parents that others would not face the hardships she encountered by finding a cure for this disease. Her family started this charity to carry on that wish. Today, Lea’s Foundation takes an active role in finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and myeloma and to better the lives of people living with these diseases. At the UCONN Health Center, the Lea’s Foundation Center for Hematologic Disorders sponsors research in this field. A new program covers the cost of bone-marrow testing to help recruit life-saving transplants for patients. Also, annual scholarships are given to children with leukemia who are planning to attend nursery school. For more information on other projects carried out by Lea’s Foundation, please visit their website at www.LeasFoundation.org.

Runners chip in




On Sunday, March 3rd the Bimblers Running Club, based in Guilford, put on the Bimbler's Bash, a wicked 10k (ish) trail race through Westwoods trail system of Guilford. I approached the race director, Jerry Turk about donating to the Ride and the Bimblers as a group came through with huge donation. The race itself was a huge success and we were very grateful for the partnership.
