Help Carry the Light of Hope
Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records!
Welcome! The Dragon Slayers are hosting several ways in which to raise funds for the Walk. The first is here - please consider a direct donation to the LtN Walk! We are also always on the lookout for Team Members - you DO NOT have to walk or even be here to help! We've structured our Dragon Slayer Team to include members from all over the United States - and one in Canada!
For information on others ways you can help the Dragon Slayer Team fight blood cancer, and to read about Ricky's personal story, please visit http://www.allamericankidnextdoor.com/DragonSlayerTeamPage.html. You'll see several ways in which you can help.
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!
