Proud 2019 Grandaddy Alum
I want to know what impacts you and makes you want to get involved?
I know here at THP, St. Jude is a big part of this community and is an incredible charity that we all get to be a part of as members.
For me, it’s blood cancers. My grandfather died of lymphoma in 1998. My dad was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009 but is now in remission after a randomly matched marrow donor agreed to undergo a transplant to save my dads life. Last year, my cousins son who is 5 years old was diagnosed with leukemia. He’s still battling this stupid disease now.
We walk and raise money every year in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night walk, our family puts together a “Team in Training” for the Peachtree Road Race, and we created a blood drive in memory of my grandfather twice a year.
On a golf note, I’m considering putting together a charity golf tournament for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. But anyways, I want to know what speaks to you? What are you involved in? I know it can be a heavy topic and maybe even hard to talk about sometimes but I like hearing about the stuff that matters to y’all.
