Kicking Cancer's Ass Since 2005
We can do this
Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage. In Oct 2005 I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and had a stem cell transplant in Feb 2006. I'm over a year in remission, and it is my goal to raise awareness about this horrible disease. I also am making it my mission to raise over a million dollars in my lifetime. I am stubborn enough to do just that. My daughter and I want to honor the many friends of ours who are currently battling this disease and those who lost their battle. We love you. And we will help find a cure! Please give. And if you can't give, spread the word, donate blood, or sign up on the bone marrow donor registry. We can do this!.
The Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's nationwide walk to raise awareness and funds to cure leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
I'm participating in the walk in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancer. These people are the real heroes, and we need your support to help accelerate cures and give hope to 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 ten minutes, someone loses the fight.
- Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children.
- Lymphomas are the most common blood cancers.
- The myeloma survival rate is only 32 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. Be sure to check my Web site frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
