RUSH: Tomorrow is the annual Cure-A-Thon here on the Rush Limbaugh program to cure the blood cancers, leukemia and lymphoma. We do this in conjunction with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of America. We\u2019ve been at this, I guess, since 1989. And we have since then — total combined donations — raised $30 million or more. And we\u2019ve never had a down year. Every year, no <\/a>matter what the economic circumstances are, we\u2019ve always had up years. It\u2019s blown us all away here during this particular recession. We continue to beat previous years\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n

This is not a challenge. I\u2019m not throwing out a challenge. I\u2019m simply telling you how appreciative everybody is and how surprised we have been during a couple of these because the Cure-A-Thon took place during a severe economic downturn. Now, what we\u2019re gonna do is we\u2019re going to add Twitter for the first time this year in our Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Cure-A-Thon. We\u2019re gonna put out a hashtag. We\u2019re gonna use a hashtag. The hashtag is #RushLLSradiothon. That\u2019s the hashtag: #RushLLSradiothon. And when you retweet that you are helping to build awareness that will lead to more donations. It\u2019ll alert people not listening to the radio program as to what\u2019s going on here and bring them here and help them understand what we\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

‘Cause this disease has touched a lot of people that we know personally here. Every year, for example, I have new facts to report to you on survivability rates, which are increasing. After being diagnosed with a certain kind of blood cancer, the survivability rate can be anywhere from three to five to ten years now. That\u2019s much longer than it used to be. Regardless what the number is, when you finally meet somebody that\u2019s dealt with this or is dealing with it, you find out what that really means. What does a three-year survivability rate mean? You might have young kids and you\u2019ve got a diagnosis where the average is three-year survivability.<\/p>\n

What do you use those three years for? Or five? Or ten? It\u2019s a profoundly important aspect of the research being done to increase the survivability rates upon diagnosis. And that\u2019s one of the things that we\u2019re gonna be talking about tomorrow in context here. So we can\u2019t wait for it. We do it each and every year. It\u2019s a real upper of a day. And adding the Twitter hashtag to it is going to enable us to attract attention from even more people who might want to help out here. So we\u2019ll start up tomorrow. As always, we don\u2019t broom the whole program. We do the radio Cure-A-Thon along with the radio show at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
