Team BMS will be participating in the Big Climb Seattle on Sunday, March 26th. Many team members have selected a 10:30 start time; let's climb together! 

Please support us with a donation by clicking the 'donate now' button  or click on a team member's name to support them directly. Our efforts will help make a big difference in the fight against blood cancers.

Whether you are a survivor celebrating being cancer free, a current-patient battling, a family honoring a loved one, a friend climbing in support or a community member checking off a bucket list moment we all have reasons to climb. BMS will be sponsoring the "Why I Climb" wall so that all participants can share their Reasons Why.

What is the Big Climb?
The Big Climb is a stairclimb up the Columbia Center - the tallest skyscraper in downtown Seattle.  There are 69 floors of stairs, 1311 steps, and 788 feet of vertical elevation.  Although it will be challenging, it pales in comparison to what blood cancer patients go through.  All proceeds benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The video below captures the true spirit of the Big Climb.

Who is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The mission of LLS is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Every day, more than 347 LLS sponsored researchers come closer to the goal of finding a cure for leukemia and related blood cancers. Locally, LLS funds 10 researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and University of Washington Medical Center. Your support and commitment to the mission of LLS enables us to continue this important work of saving lives and aids us in our ability to reach patients in our community.

Thank you for your time and I hope that you will consider donating to this cause!
