The school at which I teach does a yearly fund drive for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society called Pasta for Pennies. In the spring of 2005, we raised of $35,000, and the year before we just topped $40,000. In our six years, we've raised over $140,000 to fight blood cancers and help patients already suffering.Compared to the people covered in the PBS show The New Heroes, that's a drop in the bucket. These people are doing amazing things and should be lauded and held up as examples for all of the young people - and adults - in the world today.
