No matter what she wears, she pulls it off with complete confidence and poise… That is one haute momma!!!

What do you love most about non-profit work and what are some of the challenges you face?
I love working for an organization and seeing the difference in the patients we treat. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) has invested over $680 million in blood cancer research since 1949 (nearly 70 million last year alone). But aside from the astonishing figures, a lot of what I do goes right back to our local patients and their families. Some of the services we provide are patient education programs; family support groups; financial aid; co-pay assistance programs and my favorite service “The Trish Greene back to school program for children with cancer” (which provides resources and support to increase communication among healthcare professionals, parents, children and school personnel to smooth the transition back to school)…
The biggest challenge I am facing is our weakening economy. Corporations and individuals are donating less to charitable causes as they are encountering financial hardships of their own. However, seeing a young child in a hospital room undergoing chemotherapy was enough for me to face that challenge head on and I just won’t accept it..
The survival rate for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia/Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia has increased from 4% in 1960 to 90% in 2009… My goal is to see a cure!!
