Earlier this year, Justin Pritikin, son of Liberty Lake’s Owners/Directors Andy & Jill, was diagnosed with leukemia, a cancer of the blood. Thankfully his illness was discovered early and he is responding positively to treatment, but Justin still has a long road of recovery ahead of him.
Leukemia patients like Justin are in need of blood every day. In support of Justin and other leukemia patients, please take part in our American Red Cross Blood Drive on Thursday July 26 from 2 pm to 7 pm. The blood drive will be hosted at the Homestead Clubhouse ~ 25 Homestead Drive, Columbus, NJ, 08022.
