Thanksgiving Day Star-Studded Show - Ice Skating, Song, and Cancer Survivorship

christine.lazzari@lls.org — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:41:34 GMT

This Thanksgiving, tune into FOX for a new holiday variety show, Kaleidoscope. The show rounds up Olympic skating champions and GRAMMY Award-winning music artists, like Scott Hamilton, Dorothy Hamill, Olivia Newton-John and David Foster. Also performing are Kristi Yamaguchi, Nancy Kerrigan and Olympic figure skating hopefuls Johnny Weir and Rachael Flatt.

But the event isn't only about the entertainment. Kaleidoscope was designed to recognize women and the key role they play in the battle against cancer - as patients, caregivers, and advocates.

In addition to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Kaleidoscope has teamed up with nine other cancer-related advocacy partners. Together, this team of Cancer Advocacy Partners hopes to shed some light on how we're all touched by cancer and can all make a difference.

You can help! Tune in to FOX on Thanksgiving (November 26th) at 4:00pm (EST), immediately following the Thanksgiving Day football telecast. The event will be pre-recorded on Monday, November 16th at 7:00pm at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. If you're in the area, tickets for taped performance are on sale now.

Celebrate a Mother's Love With a Mother's Day Tribute

This Mother's Day Honor Your Mother with a Gift to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Where would you be without your mother's support? This time of year, we can't help but feel added gratitude toward the women who have made us who were are today. Moms like Katy Moeller, picture above with her daughter Audrey, overcome tremendous obstacles to protect their children.

At a young age, Audrey was diagnosed with Leukemia - the leading cancer among children and adolescents . In January, 2008, at the height of Audrey's cancer treatment, Katy joined The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training and completed the Carlsbad Marathon to fight blood cancers. Team In Training sports training program helped Katy Moeller "do something positive" for her daughter, Audrey. By participating, Katy could actively support life-saving cancer research by raising awareness and funds for a cure. It was a heroic gesture and a powerful example of a mother's love.

Whether your mom ran 26.2 miles, baked a batch of her famous home-made chocolate chips, or lovingly embraced you in a warm hug, she's been an insurmountable support in your life. This Mother's Day donate to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, fund life-saving research while you pay tribute to your mother and help ensure that every child stricken with a blood cancer can live a long and prosperous life!

If you are the mother of a child with leukemia or lymphoma, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is here to support you with information and resources.

Make a Memorial or Tribute donation by May 4th, 2009 and we will ensure delivery of a print acknowledgement card by Mother's Day, May 10th!

There's no better way to honor your mother on Mother's Day.
