As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we take this opportunity to recognize the achievements, highlight the struggles and honor the contributions of African Americans in the blood cancer community such as Wanda Pearson.
“People notice that I want to help do as much as I can to solve issues,” said Wanda Pearson, a multiple myeloma patient since 2007, and a volunteer advocacy leader in North Carolina.
Wanda, who works for the American Red Cross, believes LLS picked up on her tenacity when tapping her for this prominent volunteer role in 2018. Her duties included organizing and leading meetings with other advocates and sharing her stories with lawmakers at both the state and federal level.
She urged elected leaders to ensure coverage with preexisting conditions, restrict “junk” insurance plans that often fail to cover patients, and protect patients from surprise medical bills.
In 2019, Wanda visited Washington, D.C., along with other advocates, to meet with members of Congress. The pandemic caused her advocacy to go virtual in 2020, with letters and targeted phone calls replacing in-person meetings. In 2020, she also took on a new role with LLS, serving as a volunteer on a new committee of advocates focused on promoting diversity and inclusion.
We're proud of Wanda and all of our passionate and tenacious advocates. To learn more about opportunities to advocate with us, visit >> https://bit.ly/3jaLtj9

Now, more than ever, those fighting blood cancer need our help and support, and while everyone is working to adjust to this 'new normal,' for however long it might last, we want to make sure to not forget the over 1.3 million people living with or in remission from a blood cancer, many of whom are children. Cancer doesn't take a day off, and neither does our #HeroSquad.
As a caregiver you may neglect to take good care of your own needs because you are so focused on caring for your loved one. This is understandable, but to offer your loved one the best possible care, you need to be healthy and well yourself, both physically and emotionally. LLS has an abundance of resources for caregivers, including webcasts, an online weekly chat, education videos and more. Visit our Caregiver Support page to learn more: http://ow.ly/YxX450yVoFJ
