What is the charitable cause you are most passionate about and why?

Leukemia and Lymphoma (LL) is the cause I'm more passionate about. In May of 1997 my mother was diagnosed with LL; this diagnosis came so unexpected. My mother fought hard for months, underwent chemo and radiation, ultimately being cancer free by Oct. Unfortunately, that cancer-free period was short lived, by Dec of 97 she went back to the hospital, passing on Dec 23, 1997. Since then I've been doing my small part by donating to several Leukemia and Lymphoma charities through CFC. Our donations do make a difference!
