Help Carry the Light of Hope
WE DID IT!!!!
We met our goal and more. Monies are still coming in and I will have final totals shortly. Thank you so much for everyone's help and support and most importantly your donation to one worthy casuse!
Welcome to my Light The Night Walk home page. This is our FOURTH YEAR!
Our donations are growing day by day! Yipee! You can help the team to get additional support by asking your family and friends to donate as well. It would be most appreciated.
We raised over $4,000 last year and over $6,000 the previous year. Let's try to get towards those totals again!
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. The Brooklyn Bridge walk date is October 6, 2005
I'm participating in the Walk in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers including ME! 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.
Please make a donation to support my participation in the Light The Night Walk. By doing so,
we’ll both be helping save lives. I hope you'll visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to
see my progress. Thanks for your support!

So, you ask, what's with the shamrocks? Well, my transplant was on March 17, 2003 - St. Patrick's Day. I am hoping that some luck will rub off on me and I will finally be well.
