My Fundraising Page

To all friends and family,

My name is Anne Howard and this is my personal fundraising page for LLS and the Night the Light Walk on October 9, 2010. I will be walking with my daughter to help raise funds and awareness for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at Centennial Olympic Park. Last year, my nephew John was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymhoma. He had already been involved with this wonderful cause walking for others for the past 8 years, little did we know that we would need this cause firsthand. John's determination and drive to beat this dreadful disease and his style of facing things "head-on" have made his company and his outlook for the future a success. Please join my family in donating any small amount to such a wonderful cause that affects so many innocent people.

Our goal for Team In-Depth is $20,000, and with John's unfathomable determination to "Stick it 2 Cancer," we hope to more than achieve this goal. However, the wonderful thing about LLS is that the funding goes towards fighting ALL cancers, not just blood cancers. I ask you to please consider a donation of any amount to the LLS foundation because patients like John and the 150,000 new cases of blood cancers this year are counting on us.

Here are some great T-shirts on sale with all proceeds going towards LLS!

Thank you and may God bless,

Welcome to my 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. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving quality of life.

In fact, in 2009 alone, LLS researchers were conducting more than 90 clinical trials, a critical step in the development of new treatments and cures that will help patients live better, longer lives.

• 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 my participation in the Light The Night Walk and help save lives. Be sure to check my Web site frequently to see my progress, and thanks for your support!
