Please help Sarah's Team to save lives!
Our Angel, Sarah
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night Walk. This year Sarah’s Team, along with hundreds of others, will be walking in Indianapolis on October 13th, just six days before what would have been Sarah’s 12th birthday. We walk for many reasons, including:
- In memory of Sarah, and her courageous battle with leukemia,
· In honor of friends and loved ones whose lives have been touched by leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers,
· To bring hope to the families of patients, especially children, who suffer from these devastating diseases.
On November 1, 2004, we received Sarah’s incomprehensible diagnosis of AML, a disease that ultimately took her life on January 19, 2005. Over the past three years many people have said that they admire us – for the way in which we have coped with personal tragedy; for keeping our faith; for keeping the memory of Sarah alive; and for working to raise funds for the LLS. However, there is a difference between ‘admire and inspire’. As our pastor recently explained, to admire is to have feelings of respect and esteem for someone. To be inspired is to act on those feelings. We would love to see admiration turn into inspiration.
There are many good reasons to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It is my sincere hope that Sarah’s story will inspire you to act in support of our journey – of remembering Sarah and establishing her legacy.
Thank you for helping to save lives with your donation to Light the Night.
