Steve Schmuker and Kathy Uzarski are candidates for the local title of Man and Woman of the Year, a fundraising competition to help cure Lymphoma and Leukemia.

They joined the Jojo Show this morning to tell us the reasons why they give of themselves in an effort to rid the world of these cancers.

Steve and Kathy talked about:

* What the Man and Woman of the Year competition entails.

* Their personal reasons for raising funds for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society, including Steve's battle with Lymphoma, and Kathy's son surviving a bout with Leukemia and losing her father to Lymphoma.

* The statistics that show Leukemia and Lymphoma recovery rates are steadily increasing.

* What you get for being Man or Woman of the Year.
