If I could cure on disease... Today in computers class we got an assignment to write a post about a disease or condition that is important to you. I chose Leukemia Cancer. 
  1. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood. 
  2. Leukemia cause almost 1/3 of all cancer deaths for children. 
  3. One person in the United States is diagnosed with a blood cancer approximately every four minutes. 
  4. Leukemia starts in the soft, inner part of the bones (bone marrow)
  5.  Leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma are expected to cause the deaths of an estimated 53,010 people in the United States this year (2011).
I encourage you to do anything you can to help find a cure. Do things as simple as fundraising or buying something that has the funds going to research.
