Your support means a lot...to me and to thousands of others.
Ryan was a loving husband, son, brother, and friend! He loved life, and jumped at any chance he had to for a cure so that he could live life. All that knew Ryan were touch by this enthusiasm for life and for his amazing ability to help so many others when he himself was going through so much. He felt fortunate for the many opportunities he was given for treatment, and wanted to make sure that others in similar situations also had these opportunities. Because of this I urge you to give to this excellent organization.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk is the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of patients battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost.
The Society funds lifesaving cancer research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and many other types of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants that have prolonged and enhanced the lives of patients. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue have already begun to provide drugs and procedures that are improving quality of life.
But more research is critically needed:
- Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every ten minutes, someone dies.
- Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer
- More than 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2006
- The survival rate for myeloma is just 33 per cent
