Gleevec

What in the world is GLEEVEC you ask? In short, gleevec is what is currently being called the wonder drug because it typically adds 5-10 years to the patient's life. Gleevec is used mainly for CML (chonic myelogenous leukemia) and gastrointenstinal stromal tumors (GIST). Researchers are currently testing the drug on other forms of cancer such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, etc.

OK so what's the big deal? According to Coach Sally, Gleevec was funded by the Orange County/Inland Empire chapter of Team in Training!!! THIS is the research your money is going to. If you have donated, you have surely contributed to another birthday, enother meal, another walk in the park for people with CML and GIST.

So from the bottom of my heart.... thank you!
