Your support means a lot to me... and to moms of sick children too!

Team Friends of Heroes is the largest national Friends and Family Light The Night team in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's history. Since its inception, Friends of Heroes has grown dramatically in both size and focus. The team not only retains a core group of Friends of Heroes walkers, but also welcomes affiliate teams across the country. Friends of Heroes and affiliates actively fundraise for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, with a passion and focus towards eradicating pediatric blood cancers. The team strives to incorporate honored children at each walk site - local children who are either currently undergoing treatment or in remission from blood cancer. Friends of Heroes was originally created to honor Allie Scott, an 8-month-old baby who passed away from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in September 2004. In 2007, the team changed its name from Friends of Allie to Friends of Heroes to better identify the group and align it with its mission to put a face on childhood cancer.

"I [hope] that through Allie, people are seeing the need for awareness about these types of diseases. Funding for research is critical. That is why events like Light The Night® are so important. Not only do they give us a chance to honor our loved ones, they also help raise money for cures."
