It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to support my fundraising efforts through The 4th annual Jim Abernethy Challenge !

Over the next four weeks my team "Tour de Friends" will compete in a Cycle challenge to raise funds for blood cancer research and support services.?

Because of the success of campaigns like The Jim Abernethy Challenge that has raised $650,000 in its inaugural year, and over $1.5 million dollars in its three years, the LLSC has funded the highest number of research grants in its 67-year history, funding nearly $5 million this past year. I am pleased to share that $1M of these funds are directed towards pediatric blood cancer research. With your support, LLSC’s goal is to fund $5M worth of research next year. Why does this matter? In our lifetime we are making life altering progress in treatment and cures. To give you an example, in the last 50 year’s survival for the most common childhood cancer, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia has come from 20% survival to over 90% survival. If we have come this far in the last 50 years, then in our lifetime we believe we can cure childhood blood cancers.?

Any donation you make will be greatly appreciated. You can donate directly to my page following this link Light The Night Toronto: Anton Antonov - The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada ( llscanada.org )
