In addition, Dr. Kapp's office is involved with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The story below was written by Dr. Kapp's manager Terry.
Our office participates in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Light The Night" each and every year. I'm the team captain of "Jalen's Team". We started our team in 2003 which was the year I lost my grandson, Jalen. Since then, we have raised about $30,000 for the Society.
Jalen was only 18 months of age when he became an Angel. He was diagnosed at 10 months of age with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia which is the most common type of leukemia in older adults (65 years of age and older). Fewer than 10% of people with AML are children. Jalen fought a courageous battle--during which time, he endured numerous medications, bone marrow aspirations, biopsies, rounds of chemo, injections, and trips to the hospital. He and my daughter practically lived there for most of that 10 months. Even though he was just a baby, Jalen handled all of this and still managed to make everyone smile on a daily basis. He was so full of love and we miss him terribly. He will always be my hero. That's why it's so important for me and the people who loved Jalen, to do our part to help find a cure. It's very very important to us!
