About Lea's Foundation

In 1998, Lea Michele Economos, a young woman who died of leukemia at the age of 28, made a dying wish to her parents that others would not face the hardships she encountered by finding a cure for this disease. Her family started this charity to carry on that wish. Today, Lea’s Foundation takes an active role in finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and myeloma and to better the lives of people living with these diseases. At the UCONN Health Center, the Lea’s Foundation Center for Hematologic Disorders sponsors research in this field. A new program covers the cost of bone-marrow testing to help recruit life-saving transplants for patients. Also, annual scholarships are given to children with leukemia who are planning to attend nursery school. For more information on other projects carried out by Lea’s Foundation, please visit their website at www.LeasFoundation.org.

Lea's Foundation Valentine's Day Ball 2012

Melina, Nate, and I attended the Lea's Foundation Valentine's Day Ball last Saturday, February 11, 2012. We had a great time meeting and speaking with the guests! Here are a couple of pictures from the event.

 Melina and Nate looked stunning and I did my best to play the dapper gentleman.
There are no words to describe how epic this ice sculpture was. So just look at the picture.
