History Last year, my mom Linda learning she went viral on Reddit and reading comments. Today she’s in remission from multiple myeloma. I Thank you!
In 1977, my mom Linda Leggett became the first African American woman to complete Officer Candidate School in the Delaware Army National Guard, something I never knew growing up. I began posting her story on Reddit last year during her cancer journey, and next month in October, she will be honored during Blood Cancer United’s Light the Night walk in Wilmington - I again want to say thank you!
Your support has helped her in her fight with cancer.
