Your support means a lot…to me and to thousands of others.
Thanks for visiting my Light The Night Walk homepage. Light The Night 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 Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) 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 helped patients live better, longer lives. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving the quality of life.
But more research is critically needed:
- Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies.
- Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer.
- Nearly 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2007.
- The survival rate for myeloma is just 34 percent.
Please make a donation to support my participation in the Light The Night Walk and help save lives. Be sure to check my Web site frequently to see my progress, and thanks for your support!
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society helped us a great deal financially during Alex's year and a half journey with leukemia. This is great way for us to help give back just a small portion of what they gave to us. Our giving will then enable them to continue the fight for so many other families battling these devastating illnesses. Just a small donation from many amounts to great things for research and funding to families who so desperately need us! Will you join Alex's army and help fight the battle of leukemia and lymphoma? You can help others be strong and courageous in this fight! We will be walking for this event on Friday, October 3. Please feel free to join us as we walk too, each person there will help represent hope and encouragement for someone else.
Thank you for your help!
Alex's Army!
Scott, Jennifer, Audra, and Alex
