Lymphoma Research Foundation

Friends and Family,

I am writing to ask for your support. I am swimming in the first USA Oceanman race which will take place in Miami Beach on November 15 and 16, 2025. I will be swimming a half Oceanman which is a 5,000 meter open water race and I want to make it count, so I am swimming it for my Mom and the Lymphoma Research Foundation.

It does not matter how much or how little you donate, even a penny per meter would be great, whatever you can afford. Many of our families have been touched by this disease and I intend to use my strength in the water to help support those finding a cure. I appreciate all of you and will let you know how it goes.

If you want more information about the race itself, check out www.oceanmanswim.com. And wish me luck and smooth seas!

Thanks,

Jeff Sklar

In Loving Memory & Honor of Our Families

As we celebrate our love and begin our lives together, we wish to honor the incredible people who have shaped our hearts. Instead of gifts, we kindly ask you to consider donating to two organizations deeply meaningful to us:

The Lymphoma Research Foundation – In loving memory of Eduardo Franceschi and in support of Rodrigo Constantino as he bravely fights lymphoma. Your donation will help fund life-saving research and provide support to patients and their families.

Your generosity in supporting these causes would be the most beautiful gift you could give us.

With all our love and gratitude,

Luiza & Pedro

Em memória e homenagem às nossas famílias

Neste momento tão especial em que celebramos o nosso amor e damos início à nossa vida juntos, queremos também lembrar com carinho pessoas que marcaram profundamente os nossos corações.

Em vez de presentes, gostaríamos de convidá-los a apoiar duas causas que têm um significado imenso para nós:

Lymphoma Research Foundation – Em memória de Eduardo Franceschi e em apoio a Rodrigo Constantino, que enfrenta com coragem a jornada contra o linfoma. Sua doação contribui para pesquisas que salvam vidas e oferece suporte essencial a pacientes e famílias.

A sua generosidade ao apoiar essas causas será o presente mais especial para nós.

Com carinho e gratidão,

Luiza & Pedro

update: chemo 4:

8 miles today for me. Thank you for all the donations. We’re not done until chemo is over.

You’re living your life…. A physician, an involved community member, a charitable individual, an active man. And first and foremost a loving husband, father and grandpa…..

How would you respond if someone you love was HIT out of the blue with the news….. “you have lymphoma and you will need chemo”? Those are the words nobody wants to hear, yet unfortunately, many will hear. Those are the words that create fear and cause a huge ripple.

I am scared and afraid for someone very close to me, and I’ve made the choice to do what I can to try and donate to fight against lymphoma….. to run alongside him and do my best to make a contribution to stop those words from being said to anyone else.

Today he starts his journey. He is strong and a fighter with the support of many family and friends, and he has built a community of people that love him.

Today I made a pledge that for the next 18 weeks, I will run in his honor.

Every 3 weeks for 6 sessions, while he receives his chemo, I will be out progressively running more distance each time I run…. starting with a 3-mile run and ending with a 10-mile run, making progress towards the bigger goal!

My goal is to raise money for the Lymphoma Society to honor my brother Dave and anyone else fighting this challenge. Any support you give will be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you

Hi! I am a rising senior at Cathedral High School located in the Indianapolis area who has recently been affected by a family member’s diagnosis with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system.

Accordingly, my hope for my St. Andre Project is to raise money in order to donate the proceeds of this fundraiser to the Lymphoma Research Foundation in order to accelerate cancer research and bring about a positive change within my community.

Thank you so much for any donation. Little things count, God bless!

Ten years ago, I completed my stem cell treatment at the University of Chicago, marking a milestone in my journey as a Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor. This June, I'm dedicated to raising awareness for Lymphoma and supporting efforts to find a cure for all affected by this disease and other blood disorders. Together, let's work towards preventing future cases and advancing research for a healthier tomorrow.

Have you or a loved one ever been diagnosed with cancer? Do you know someone who is struggling with the financial and physical effects of cancer? If one of these questions apply to you, then now is your chance to make a difference in the lives of those with cancer and their families!

I am Joshua Everett and I am starting this fundraiser with the goal to raise money to donate to the Lymphoma Research Foundation to help patients and their families with the struggles (financially, physically, and medically) of living with cancer. This fundraiser is very close to my heart because I have lost my father as a result of lymphoma. Specifically, my father died from a rare form of blood cancer known as Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma that affected not only his blood but also his skin. I watched my father struggle with this disease for over 15 years while having brief periods of remission. Each time the cancer returned, it came back ten times stronger than the time prior. Towards the end of my father's life, I was blessed to be one of his caregivers. Having a front-row seat to my father's decline was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. Watching this disease take over his body and watching our family struggle with the financial burden of medications, radiation therapies, and chemotherapies was added stress that my family and I truly did not need.

Donating to the Lymphoma Research Foundation will allow more funding to be poured into research for treatments and possible cures for this disease while also providing financial assistance to the families of cancer patients. Personally, I know my family and I could have significantly benefited from these resources. Having my community and everyone around me enrolled in donating to this foundation will not only change lives but will SAVE lives as well. Who knows, maybe my father or one of your loved ones could have been helped or saved as well! Let's come together and help save future patients and their families from the turmoil we have all faced at some point in our lives.

Hello, I’m pas, and I'm taking on the water for a cause that matters!

I am committed to pushing my limits, swimming nonstop for long sessions to raise funds for the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) and cancer associations. Every stroke I take is a step toward supporting vital cancer research, patient support, and raising awareness.

This mission isn’t just about endurance and resilience—it’s about hope, strength, and making waves for those battling cancer. Your support fuels my journey and, more importantly, provides real help to those who need it most.

Join me in this challenge—every donation brings us closer to a cure!
