EP 113: "A Chance to Make a Difference" Part 1 ft Jade-Addon Hall

<p>EP 113: "A Chance to Make a Difference" Part 1 ft Jade-Addon Hall </p> <p>Contributors: Comedian Ivan Martin and Lawyer/ Legal Contribitor Natasha Axelrod</p> <p>Like many of you, this past year has been eye-opening for me. The overwhelming inequities and systemic racism that continues to plague our nation left me wondering, “What I can do to help?” One area that became abundantly clear was the healthcare gap. In 2019, for example, we lost 73,000 Black Americans to cancer; the highest rate of any racial or ethnic group. Because of the exorbitant costs of cancer treatment, even with Medicaid, the gaps in healthcare are significant. </p> <p>My friend Jade-Addon Hall was nominated for the 2021 Man & Woman of the Year Campaign, to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). I’m proud to announce that I have joined Team Cure Excellence in an effort to raise funds and awareness for ending blood cancers and providing equitable care for those who need it most. </p> <p>We discuss why he asked me to join in the effort for raising money to LLS. We talk about how I was hesitant at first and why this is so important to me. This is part 1 of 2 episodes about LLS. Part 2 comes out on Tuesday April 4.6.21 with a local Baltimore Cancer Survivor that was helped by LLS. </p> <p>If you would like to donate this is the link </p> <p>Thank You</p> <p><a href='https://pages.lls.org/mwoy/calso/los21/adante'>https://pages.lls.org/mwoy/calso/los21/adante</a></p> <p>www.LLS.org for more information</p> <p> </p>
