Welcome to Team Katelyn's Light The Night Walk homepage.


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.


The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds lifesaving research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and treatments for other types of cancer, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants. These treatments have helped patients live better, longer lives. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving quality of life.

  • A donation of $25 provides patients and their loved ones with FREE booklets that contain up-to-date information on their disease and help them make informed decisions about their treatment options.
  • A donation of $50 makes possible a Family Support group with a trained facilitator where comfort can be found and experiences can be shared among patients and family members.
  • A donation of $100 helps supply laboratory researchers with supplies and materials critical to carrying out their search for cures.
  • A donation of $1,000 makes possible one- on-one conversations with health care specialists who provide patients with information about their disease, treatment options, and helps prepare them with questions for their health care team.

Please make a donation to support Team Katelyn's participation in the Light The Night Walk and help save lives. Be sure to check my team's Web site frequently to see Team Katelyn's progress, and thanks for your support!


Team Katelyn was created in honor of Katelyn Scott. Katelyn was diagnosed with ALL (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia) in March of 2009. Team Katelyn is so blessed that Katelyn's cancer is treatable. This is a battle that Katelyn will win. We look at Katelyn's treatable cancer as a miracle, instead of a misfortune. Our glass is half full! As terrible as things may be at times, at the end of the day we can look around and say, "We are so blessed. She's going to be okay." Unfortunately there are many others who are not as blessed as us. Please show your support in whatever way you can! Join us in our walk! Help us find a cure! Help Katelyn fight Leukemia!



Our team is scheduled to participate in the 2009 Light the Night walk in New Haven, Ct at Lighthouse Point Park on October 3rd! We hope you can join us.

Thank you!
