Did you know?
Every five minutes someone in the United Sates learns that he or she has leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma - more than 300 people a day.
Every ten minutes a child or adult is expected to die from blood-related cancers. This statistic represents six people every hour. This is simply hard to imagine!

Amy Livesay, the wife of the Mark (owner of Ultramax Events) is a Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor. Amy w
as diagnosed and entered cancer treatment just a few weeks after they first met. Amy has been cancer free now for 10 years. Since that time, Amy and Mark have finished hundreds of multi-sport events , including 15 Ironman Triathlons together.
Amy's survivor story is a testament that this disease can be beaten back!
