Message from your Chapter President
 
If you haven't registered for our 2009 Lymphomathon, I challenge you to get your team registered and start recruiting team members. Without funding we cannot be successful in raising awareness, finding a cure and simply put serving those touched by the disease. Our goal is to raise $205,000 this year and we don't want those dollars to fall short.

We had 71 registrations for Ask the Doctor on September 19th. Our speakers were informative bringing to us the latest in Lymphoma treatment and naturopathic medicine

Continue to fight the fight and I look forward to seeing you during our event packed year.

Making a Difference: The LRF Advocacy Program

The Arizona Chapter provides important public policy and advocacy updates for chapter members, advocates and volunteers.

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.

We encourage you to attend a local chapter meeting, so that you can learn more about the LRF Advocacy Program, and to receive an update on federal policies likely to affect the lymphoma community. To become involved with these advocacy efforts, contact your local Advocacy Chair today at advocacy@lymphoma.org.
