Help Carry the Light of Hope
This was made for Caleb it was taken when the Harley Drivers came to Loma Linda Hospital to deliver toys to the kids. Taken Dec. 19 2004.
Thhis is our second year of doing the Light the Night walk. Our reason for it. Caleb. Caleb was diagnosed with leukemia at age 4 1/2 . He is going to be turning 6 July of this year. We do what we can to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma society due to their help towards finding a cure for my son's disease. And also because I lost my Grandfather 19 yrs ago to Lymphoma as well. But our goal is to find a cure for Caleb. That is why we continue to do these walks. Last years walk we had a terrific time. Caleb became the center of attention and we got to know other people going thru this as well. Caleb also became an instant celebrity with the other walkers. Caleb's Hope is to find a cure. Help us raise the money to FIND THAT CURE.
Welcome to my 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.
I'm participating in the Walk in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are
the real heroes and 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!
