My Fundraising Page

Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage.

This is my first Leukmia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) event! I joined Team In Depth to join their fight to raise awareness and, of course, funds. Team In Depth and I will use our business and social network to raise a total team goal of $20,000 that will go towards advances in treatment options and medicines that will one day cure cancer. Will you help me towards my goal?

Cancer seems to have affected everyone's life somehow. For those of us who have been lucky enough to not draw that card, we know someone who has. In my life I have had several people close to me suffer through the physical and emotional pain that cancer can inflict. I am raising funds to celebrate the lives of those who have beaten cancer because of organizations like LLS, and also honoring those who didn't.

Please consider donating generously!

About The Light the Night Walk:

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!
