An estimated 1,012,533 people in the US are living with, or are in remission from, leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma.
When 28-year-old Hatfield, Massachusetts native Sally Ekus was just three-and-a half years old, she should have been getting ready for pre-school, and instead she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Baystate Medical Center for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. After twenty-seven months of treatment, and years of monthly check ups, she was given a clean bill of health. This past August she celebrated being 25 years cancer free! To commemorate this huge accomplishment, last year she joined the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society?s Team in Training Program and completed her first marathon, raising over $21,000 for the organization that helped save her life.

Sally?s mother and employer, Lisa Ekus of The Lisa Ekus Group, LLC, a Hatfield based culinary agency, is proud to sponsor a corporate team this year! This year Sally teamed up with friends and colleagues David Abrami and Corinne Fay, joining forces to run the Nike Women?s Half Marathon in San Francisco, again with the Team in Training program. The Lisa Ekus Group Team has been going through the daily training program and has collectively set out to raise $25,000.
Client and friend of the agency, best-selling cookbook author and Chef Virginia Willis has generously donated a hands-on cooking class and dinner. On a date to be mutually agreed upon, the first person (or group, up to 8 people) to donate a minimum of $1000 will spend an evening cooking and dining with The Lisa Ekus Group team and celebrity chef Willis in Hatfield. Wine and signed copies of Willis? book are included!
Chef Willis is the author of the acclaimed cookbook, Bon App?tit, Y?all! Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cooking (Ten Speed Press, 2008). Her latest book, Basic to Brilliant, Y?all: 150 Refined Southern Recipes and Ways to Dress Them Up for Company (Ten Speed Press, 2011) was rated as one of the top rated cookbooks of 2011. Virginia was also recently named by the Chicago Tribune as one of ?Seven Food Writers You Need to Know.? A graduate of L?Academie de Cuisine and Ecole de Cuisine LaVarenne, she previously she honed her attention to detail as the Kitchen Director for Martha Stewart Living Television where she supervised the food segments for the Emmy-award winning television show. With MSLTV, Virginia was also responsible for preparing private meals and events for Martha and her guests ? including among others, President Clinton, Aretha Franklin, and Julia Child. As Executive Producer for Epicurious on The Discovery Channel, she traveled the world taping fantastic stories about food ? from harvesting capers in the shadow of a smoldering volcano to making authentic mustard in Dijon.

Owner Lisa Ekus, and Sally?s mom/boss says ?Sally is the most courageous person I know. Her commitment to making a difference in the lives of other people who have Leukemia, and to giving back to LLS fills me with joy and pride. We are thrilled to support our Lisa Ekus Group team who are running for this great and important cause. Before last year?s marathon, all 26.2 miles, Sally had barely ever run even one mile. That girl is determined! Now we join her in this year?s goal to raise $25,000. If anyone can do it, it?s my daughter!?
