NEW JERSEY CHAPTER2012 Lymphomathon is a BIG Success 
Over 500 walkers came out on Sunday, May 6th to support the 9th annual New Jersey Lymphomathon. Thank you to all of our walkers and volunteers who made the day so special. A very special thanks to our in-kind sponsors who made sure we had plenty of hot coffee, water and food. To date we've raised $90,000. Don't forget to ask your company if they have an employee gift matching program, you still have time to raise $500 and receive that LRF windbreaker. Donations can be made online at www.lymphomathon.org/newjersey2012. If you are interested in helping shape next year's 10th Anniversary Lymphomathon, please contact Denise Ambrusko at (212) 349-2391 or newjersey@lymphoma.org. You remain the key to everything we do and we look forward to walking with all of you in 2013!

Making a Difference: The LRF Advocacy Program Our local Advocacy Program focuses on taking action on laws, policies and positions that affect every lymphoma patient and survivor. By contacting elected officials via phone calls, e-mail and letters in support of these priorities, local advocates help LRF to make lymphoma a national health priority. At present, LRF Advocacy Chairs and Advocacy Committees are working on a letter to the editor campaign. Advocates will be involved in submitting letters and working collaboratively to have letters published in local media outlets. The campaign strategy should be informed by the number of advocates who will be targeted for participation. LRF has chosen three policy topics for chapters to choose from: federal investment in lymphoma and cancer research; federal funding for the CDC Hematological Cancer Education Program; and U.S. drug shortages. To become involved with these advocacy efforts, contact your local Advocacy Chair today at advocacy@lymphoma.org. To learn more, click here.
