ORLANDO, Fla. (EWORLDWIRE) Oct 13, 2009
On Oct. 9, 2009, Diversified Global Holdings located in Orlando, Fla., contributed to the Nike Women's Marathon by sponsoring the KIN running team in an effort to support Leukemia research. The Nike Women's Marathon will take place on October 18, 2009. The race will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) of San Francisco, Calif.
Nike's year-round marathon training program reaches highly-motivated and dedicated women and men who are active consumers and interested in taking on the ultimate challenge of running or walking a marathon, completing a 100-mile century ride or a triathlon.
"Diversified Global Holdings and Nike's contributions support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's lifesaving cancer research," said Diversified Global Holdings Chairman Vadim Enikeev. "We're proud to be helping improve the lives of thousands of Americans battling blood cancers.
Jackie Steinhart from team KIN thanked Diversified Global Holdings CEO Richard Lloyd personally saying, "The knowledge that Diversified Global Holdings shares our commitment to this important cause will keep us going, and you will be in our minds and hearts as we cross the finish line!"
"The devastation of Leukemia has touched my family personally, and I can only hope to continue to do all I can to support such a worthy cause," said CEO Richard Lloyd. "We look forward to working with Nike, team KIN and the LLS again in the future."
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services. Over more than $680 million in research has been funded, with over $69 million in 2009, specifically targeting leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Last year alone, LLS made 4.9 million contacts with patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals.
