Join hundreds of survivors and caregivers as they walk to raise funds and awareness for the Lymphoma Research Foundation!

The Lymphomathon is a non-competitive 5K walk where survivors, family, friends, community and corporate teams walk in honor and in memory of those whose lives have been touched by lymphoma. Funds raised by participants will support the Foundation’s mission of eradicating lymphoma and serving those touched by this disease.

About LRF
The Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) is the nation's largest lymphoma-focused voluntary health organization devoted exclusively to funding lymphoma research and providing patients and health care professionals with critical information on the disease. LRF's mission is to eradicate lymphoma and serve those touched by this disease.

About Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that occurs when lymphocytes--white blood cells that help protect the body from infection and disease--begin behaving abnormally. Abnormal lymphocytes may divide faster than normal cells or they may live longer than they are supposed to.

Lymphoma may develop in many parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood or other organs.

Nancy's Story
Nancy was diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2007. Thankfully the treatment they gave her worked and she had been 2,5 years in remission. She knowes that her story might have been quite different if she did not have the support of her family and friends. Grateful for having won her battle, Nancy knows the importance of being there for others who are also fighting cancer and being an advocate to help find a cure against lymphoma. This summer she will be volunteering at a camp for children with cancer. She also will be participating for the second time in the Chicago Lymphomaton, this time with her own team, to raise money for a cure. Follow Nancy's Ninjas here.

Here's a real talented Belgium with a passion for music. He started making his own songs in Belgian and English language. Listen to my favourite track down below or if you want to listen to all his tracks here. Ow and on a side note I designed his new logo.

Had an idea in my head for a logo design. As soon as I came home I started working on it. It uses subtle colors with a clean and sleek style. The idea is that it's a picture of the top of a mountain.

Today I made some stickers of my logo. I also laminated them so they can conquer the rain and then put double-sided sticky tape on the back. They are going on my bicycle. I will post a photo tomorrow with the stickers on the bike

This is the most effective way to easily upgrade from your Iphone to an Ipad. And best of all, it's completely free.

You know what's even more free? Leaving a comment.

This is a new tshirt concept I'm currently working on. It's a baby bear called Jack searching for a new home.

A little more detailed version of Jack is also my new logo as of today. The reason I changed it was because it had to much resemblance with a couple of other logo's using a monkey. So I created a fresh new character.

The "Clever Little Bag" will completely overhaul the shoe brand's supply chain--saving millions in electricity, fuel, and water

It's hard to imagine something as simple as the shoebox being completely overhauled and rethought. But Puma and Fuseproject, the design firm led by Yves Béhar, have done just that, in a design that was almost three years in the making. (The project is actually just the beginning of a brand overhaul, to be revealed soon.)

"Rethinking the shoebox is an incredibly complex problem, and the cost of cardboard and the printing waste are huge, given that 80M are shipped from China each year," Béhar tells FastCompany.com. "Cargo holds in the ships can reach temperatures of 110 degrees for weeks on end, so packaging becomes an enormous problem. This solution protects the shoes, and helps stores to stock them, while saving huge costs in materials."

After spending 21 months studying box fabrication and shipping, Fuseproject realized that any improvement to that already lean system would merely be incremental. So instead, the "clever little bag" combines the two packaging components of any shoe sale--the bag and the box--with high-tech ingenuity.

The bag tightly wraps an interior cardboard scaffolding--giving it shape and reducing cardboard use by 65%. Moreover, without that shiny box exterior, there's no laminated cardboard (which interferes with recycling). There's no tissue paper inside. And there's no throw-away plastic bag. The bag itself is made of recycled PET, and it's non-woven--woven fibers increase density and materials use--and stitched with heat, so that it's less manufacturing intensive.

The impact: Puma estimates that the bag will slash water, energy, and fuel consumption during manufacturing alone by 60%--in one year, that comes to a savings of 8,500 tons of paper, 20 million mega joules of electricity, 264,000 gallons of fuel, and 264 gallons of water. Ditching the plastic bags will save 275 tons of plastic, and the lighter shipping weight will save another 132,000 gallons of diesel.

The roll-out is planned for next year. After that? Hopefully, the design will become ubiquitous.

Had a little too much time on my hands this weekend, so I made a new character called Blox.

He lives in his very own world with his own adventures. I'm planning on making an episode each month or so. The concept is based on stop-motion movies.

Episode 1 for you here now, and more to come so stay tuned

Leave a comment mentioning where the next episode must be about!

Here's one of my favourite stop-motion movies. They really used shirts in a very creative way. It took them 2 days and 222 shirts. But the end result is astonishing

Today I've decide to stop with the daily365 challenge because I can't bring up the time to design something every day.

So I decided to change my site into a blog and start bringing you the latest news and announcements every day and also keep designing and showing my designs up here.

Hope you like the change!!
