NGA-Radio has put a spotlight on a young lady from Brooklyn,NY who is promoting for a cause that is near and dear to her and millions of us in the United States and all over the world. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is doing ALL they can to help find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myelomafrom taking any more innocent lives than it already has.
Judith is completing a 10k run that the LLS is sponsoring to raise funds for the real heroes...those who are affected and desperately need everyone's support. You must understand that many times we make the wrong things the main focus and set aside the real issues. We spend money on gas guzzling SUV's for the look or status, we spend money on wars and protection from forces unseen, we spend money on two packs of cigarettes a day because the focus is lost. Let me shine some light on this issue that Judith is going back to her High School track and field superstar form for...
