Welcome to the Michael C. Fina Team Page!
Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's evening walk and fundraising event. It is the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of people battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost.
After almost 2 years of fiercely battling against Leukemia, Charles Fina, Executive Vice President of Michael C. Fina and beloved brother, husband, father and grandfather passed in May of 2009.
After being diagnosed with Leukemia in June of 2007, and many months of aggressive treatment, Charlie enjoyed a short period of remission in the summer and early fall of 2008. During these months he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, vacationing with his family, and working in the office. In the following months, his treatments became less effective and complications continued. He spent countless hours in the care of very talented physicians, who provided every possible treatment, and gave him every opportunity for survival. Ultimately, his Leukemia out-ran the treatments.
Over the past three years, the Michael C. Fina team has been able to raise more than $450,000 to fund lifesaving research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers as well as other types of cancer, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants. These treatments have helped patients live better, longer lives.
Please make a donation, in Charlie’s honor, to support our participation in the Light The Night Walk and help save lives.
We thank you for your support.
Michael C. Fina
