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.
75 cents of every dollar goes directly to helping save lives, whether that be to research a new cure, raise awareness, or simply drive someone to the hospital for needed treatment.
LLS does more than pay for research and treatment; they also bring together newly treated and survivors for invaluable moral and emotional support.
Some unsettling facts:
Leukemia is the leading cause of disease-related death among children under age 15.
Every five minutes, someone in this country is diagnosed with blood cancer.
Every nine minutes, someone dies.
Lymphomas are the most common blood cancers.
The myeloma survival rate is only 30 percent.
Please make a donation to support the Light The Night Walk in Tampa, Florida. 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!
