The event is Wednesday, October 3rd from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Haworth Showroom 575 7th Street NW Suite 200 Washington, D.C. 20004. There will be a silent auction and door prizes along with great wines and tasty treats.

Geier Brown Renfrow Architects are participating in the walk in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancer. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society funds lifesaving cancer research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and many other types of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants that have prolonged and enhanced the lives of patients. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue have already begun to provide drugs and procedures that are improving quality of life.

But more research is critically needed:

• Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every ten minutes, someone dies.
• Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer
• More than 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2006
• The survival rate for myeloma is just 33 per cent

Thanks for your support!
