Leukemia Awareness Ribbon Lapel Pin5Renette WilkinsonJuly 29, 2010You asked me to share my story for purchasing the Leukemia pins. Well here goes. I only had one Son and his name was Ray and he was only 28 years old, unmarried and no children. His father died 5 years ago in a motorbike accident. We started a business for him a year ago and things were going very well. He started complaining about typical flu symptoms and stomach problems. He went to our local GP twice and received medication. He went back the third time and saw the partner who recognized the signs and he send him for blood tests to two different labs on the same day and we had to take him the following day for the bone marrow-test, due to the fact that they could not determine which Leukemia it was. It turned out to be Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The following day we took him into the clinic where he got out of the car, carried his own bag up the stairs and checked into his room. I came back very early the next morning to take him to another hospital for sperm donation before they start the chemo treatment, only to find that he had gotten extremely ill during the night and they took him into ICU. The following morning he was heavily sedated and from there everything started going downwards and I never got to speak to my child again and he passed away 3 weeks later. He was a healthy, strong, tall, rugby-player – went to the gym every morning – to say the least I was devastated and still trying to come to terms of what has happened. That is my story in short. I have attached a photo of the two of us in happy times. I rate this 5/5.

Leukemia Awareness Ribbon Lapel Pin5Rita LermaJanuary 8, 2010I bought these pins for myself and my family in rememberance of my father who passed away of Leukemia. We wear them proudly. It is a very nice pin and of very good quality for the price I paid. I have given this website to friends of mine who are going through similar situations who might be interested in purchasing these pins for themselves. Thank you for such a nice pin.

He was in remission for 8 months now it looks to be coming back, so he has to go and have a bone marrow transplant. The pins raise awareness to others who dont know what the orange pins are about.
Leukemia Awareness Ribbon Lapel Pin5JuliaOctober 17, 2007One of my co-worker's son was diagnosed with Leukemia. He is also a student at the school where we work. The teachers all have a pin to show our support for our co-worker and her son. We wear them to support him in his fight against Leukemia.
Leukemia Awareness Ribbon Lapel Pin5LarryFebruary 26, 2007When a co-worker died from Leukemia, his wishes were to make a donation to cancer research instead of sending flowers. Almost everyone in the department sent in a donation in his honor, and we gave out Leukemia pins for everyone to wear in his honor.
