Greetings!
I am very proud to tell you that in June I will celebrate my 15th year as a leukemia survivor. It's hard to believe that 15 years have passed since my diagnosis back in 1994 and how much has happened in that time.
While I spare you all the details, I would like to tell you that since completing my treatment in 1996, I got married to my wife Cher and we now have 3 beautiful children. Macie (5), McKenna (3) and Norah (1).
Additionally, with the support of so many, we started Andy's Chapter of Hope back in 1995 to support other families touched by leukemia and raise funds for a cure. I am very proud to tell you that Andy's Chapter of Hope has helped raise over 1 million dollars for the Leukemia Research Foundation in that time.
PLEASE SUPPORT ME - YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!
While I hope you will be able to support this event as you have in the past, I am also asking that you help me commemorate 15 years as a leukemia survivor by making a donation to my personal fundraising page (no amount is too small).
Words can't adequately express my appreciation for all you have done to support my family and me these past 15 years. Together we can ensure that others are as fortunate as I have been.
Thank You,
Andy Hanson

About Megan
Megan Cooper was lost to leukemia at the age of 8 on January 29, 1993. While Megan was taken from us, her spirit lives on through all of the lives she touched before, during and after her battle. We honor Megan and all who have been lost to leukemia by raising funds to find a cure for this devastating disease.
