Follow on Google News | Christal Kennedy, Av Manager For Five-star Audiovisual, Is Nominated For The Lls Mwoy AwardBy: LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA SOCIETY The Man & Woman of the Year (MWOY) campaign is a spirited fundraising competition in over 80 communities across the U.S. in which participants build fundraising teams to compete for the title of Man or Woman of the Year during the ten-week campaign. The tile is awarded to the man and woman who raise the most. The top local fundraisers in the country also win the national titles. MWOY has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in its 27 year history to help LLS fund research to find cures and ensure blood cancer patients have access to treatments. Christal Kennedy has dedicated her voice to help raise money for LLS in memory of her close friend, Kris Lundeen, who lost his battle with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2013. She decided to forward his mantra, PLOW, and started the campaign "Fighting Cancer with the Power of PLOW" with the help of his family. Visit Christal's Fundraising page (http://www.mwoy.org/ "Don't mistake the origin of PLOW for a simple farce of words; it is far greater than that. PLOW is what happens when you put one hundred percent of yourself into every action you do. PLOW is a goofy face or sound you use to make someone's day. This word that Kris carried around was a product of an action so small that most wouldn't give it a second thought. But not Kris, he saw an opportunity to make someone laugh. He filled every moment with energy and passion. PLOW is a call to a friend. PLOW is an invitation to live in the moment."- Christal Kennedy, Assistant Director, Five-Star AudioVisual and 2017 MWOY Nominee About LLS Founded in 1949, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society ® (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer.
