MWOY Candidate: Loan Huynh

Loan Huynh, a two-time leukemia survivor and member of the North Texas Board of Trustees, is currently fundraising as a candidate of the Man & Woman of the Year (MWOY) campaign.  She has been involved with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for a number of years as the Big D Climb co-chair and patient access volunteer.  Below she talks about how you can support her MWOY fundraising efforts.

"As a two-time blood cancer survivor, I know firsthand the benefit of research around this often deadly disease and am grateful to be LIVING proof that the research funded by LLS is working!  

For the last eight years, I have dedicated myself to working to help fund the research of the best and brightest blood cancer researchers around the world.  As an AML survivor, I see the investment LLS is making into defeating this incredibly deadly disease through their Beat AML initiative and am honored to be able to contribute to the effort to cure the disease that tried to take my life ...twice!

Want to help me?  It's easy and delicious!  Meet me at Twisted Root Burger Company at the Shops at Legacy in Plano, TX on Saturday, June 10th between 5:00 - 10:00 p.m. and 10% of all food purchased during that time will benefit my fundraising efforts.  Mention LLS at checkout and your meal will not only go towards my MWOY fundraising efforts but towards funding much needed cures for blood cancers.

Learn more about me and this event on my MWOY fundraising page.  I hope to see you, your friends and family at Twisted Root on June 4th.  Just think - for just one day, one delicious cheeseburger at a time, we can help support people fighting cancer!"

The North Texas Man & Woman of the Year campaign wraps up with a black tie Grand Finale Gala on Saturday, June 18th.  Reserve your table today.
