Girl Scout Troop 368, under

the leadership of troop leader Art Martin, will assist with this special

project.

The mission of The Leukemia

& Lymphoma Society is to cure leukemia and other blood related cancers

while improving the quality of life of patients and their families. The

Team In Training program was developed to help raise money for research.

Team In Training members are

asked to assist in the fund-raising effort and also push themselves to

achieve endurance athletic goals, such as the Washington, D.C. Marine

Corps Marathon this fall and the Disney World Marathon this winter. Area

residents Lisa Aultman, Rebecca Capezzuto, Angela Wilder and Burnside

will be running for local "hero" patients in these events.

The Great Frame Up Store of

Peachtree City is donating a 4' x 4' canvas for the benefit dinner. Local

"hero children" prints will be featured in the center. For a

$1 donation, area supporters of all ages can add their hand prints in

bright colors to the art mural representing the community support and

HOPE in finding a cure for Leukemia, lymphoma and other blood related

cancers.

Once completed, the Great Frame

Up Store will frame the finished work. Plans are being made to possibly

have reproductions made if supporters want to purchase them. The original

art piece will be presented to the city for display.

Proceeds for the benefit dinner,

"Hope Print" and special raffle and silent auction items go

to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Phone Suzanne Burnside at 678-364-0483.
