Walking to Save Lives
Danielle Deryck
Welcome to our Light The Night Walk home page.
The Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's nationwide evening walk to raise awareness and
funds to cure leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
We're participating in the Walk in honor of our daughter, Danielle who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on November 1, 2004, as well as all other individuals with blood cancers and diseases. Danielle has been battling Leukemia with dignity, strength and bravery and we are so proud of her. She inpires us on a daily basis and we thank God for each new day we are given. We need your support to help accelerate cures and hope for patients and their families. Although research is responsible for increasing survival rates for these diseases, the battle is far from over.
Did you know that:
- Every five minutes, someone in this country is diagnosed with blood cancer.
Every nine minutes, someone dies.
- Leukemia is the leading cause of disease-related death among children under age 15.
- Lymphomas are the most common blood cancers.
- The myeloma survival rate is only 30 percent.
