Leukemia is cancer that originates in blood-forming tissue according to Cancer Treatment Centers of America. It is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of blood cells, usually white blood cells, in the bone marrow that crowd out and replace normal blood and marrow cells.
About 1,237,824 people live with or are in remission from a blood cancer. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society reports that approximately every 3 minutes one person in the United States is diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma. In 2016 it is estimated that 171,550 new cases will be diagnosed and account for 10.2 percent of cancers diagnosed this year.
Hendassa, a military family owned fitness apparel company that offers workout, gym, fitness, athletic and sports apparel, has made the "Staying Strong for Danita" Leukemia Awareness T-shirt available in both men's and women's fit sizes. It is a gray tri-blend with a heather look with leukemia support orange writing. It is made of a preshrunk polyester, cotton and rayon blend.
Both being in the military, Danita and her husband Jared have been married for 6 months. They created Hendassa together because they love fitness and everything about it. They started the company with the idea that anyone can do almost anything they set their minds to and to help others along their paths to achieve their goals.
In late October Danita received a diagnosis of leukemia. The doctors told the couple that her cancer is treatable, and she has started receiving chemotherapy treatments. The sale of "Staying Strong for Danita" T-shirts and Hendassa profits are helping to support the family and pay for medical expenses.
Danita has spent years preparing and training for a career in the military, Jared said, and now due to her medical condition that will no longer be possible. He says that this trial is going to take more than physical strength for her.
"Overcoming cancer is no easy thing," he said. "But she also has to overcome the emotional battle of having her dreams slip away from her as she goes through this tough time. She is the love of my life and means the world to me."
