TEAM 209 HONORED HEROES

Our fundraising is fueled by our passion to find CURES for blood cancers. Our teammates ride in memory and honor of loved ones. We ride in memory of many of those who we carry in our hearts. We also ride with those who are still fighting the blood cancer battle or have had the celebration of being declared in remission. Along the way, our team has earned the honor of naming LLS Blood Drop Awards for some of our honorees. A Blood Drop Award is earned for a team raising $100,000 or an individual raising $50,000 in a fundraising year. With your support, we will continue to add to our Blood Drop recipient families and honor their journey with cancer.
