SOUTH BELOIT, IL, September 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) As part of World Lymphoma Awareness Day, occurring annually on September 15, 2012, Jarod and Shelly Adams, stop by Cronies Grill, located at 9032 North Second Street, Machesney Park, IL 61115, to thank owner Tim Bent and staff for their fundraising throughout September's National Blood Cancer Awareness Month.
Since 2009, after his hero and dad lost his battle with blood cancer, Mr. Adams' rides annually with Finish Cancer's team of cyclists, known as Burdens Gone, to raise awareness and funds in conjunction with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Scenic Shore 150 Bike Tour, a two-day, 150-mile event. The team contributed $17,000 in July and continues tirelessly to obtain their goal of $100,000 over five years. "Thanks to generous people like Tim Bent, we are on track to obtaining our goal," states Mr. Adams.
"Many people do not realize that every four minutes someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer and every ten minutes someone loses their battle," continues Mr. Adams, "and more alarming, the general public lacks awareness of the signs and symptoms. I want to change that and finish cancer!"
Some signs and symptoms of lymphoma (a type of blood cancer, occurring within a white blood cell) include:
- Painless swelling in neck, under an arm, or in the groin
- Enlargement of spleen may cause abdominal pain or discomfort
- Fevers, chills, or night sweats
- Itching / rash
- Unexplained weight loss
