CASSELBERRY, FL -- 10/15/08 --
Legends Business Group (OTCBB: LGBS)
announced today that it has signed on as a proud sponsor of the Walt Disney
World Half Marathon "Team in Training" program in support of the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society for the fight against blood cancers. As part of the "Team
in Training" program Legends has joined the fight to raise money to cure
blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
The "Team in Training" program provides participants with professional
coaching and training for the world's major marathons, half marathons,
triathlons or century (100-mile) bike rides. The Marathon will be held
January 11, 2009 at The Walt Disney World Resorts in Orlando, Florida. The
course itself is set to run throughout all four Disney Theme parks,
starting and ending in Epcot Center.
Larry Powalisz, President and CEO of Legends Business Group, has pledged
$2,500 for each of Legend's four participants, for a starting contribution
of $10,000. Those wishing to do so may pledge contributions at www.
LLS.org. Legends team members include Larry Powalisz, his wife, Fernanda
Powalisz, and two business associates.
"The challenges of our daily lives can often seem so immense that we tend
to forget the frustrations of people around us. We need to remember we all
come up against tough times in some form or another. Focusing on how
difficult our own lives have become can be draining. One of the best ways
to preserve our happiness is to help others experience it. One's own life
can be deeply enriched by supporting or doing something for someone else.
What better gift can we give someone than their health?" said Fernanda
Powalisz.
Larry Powalisz added, "In spite of our current political and economic
times, our business model has proven sound. We could not be happier to
share our good fortunes with an organization and their people who work to
improve and enrich the lives of such a broad spectrum of society without
prejudice."
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world's largest voluntary health
organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research. The Society is
committed to providing support and guidance to patients and the health
professionals who care for them. Since 1988, over 360,000 volunteer
participants have helped raise more than $850 million.
