Welcome to My Light The Night Walk Fundraising Page!
I am participating in Light the Night for the first time in honor of my step-father MACK WEAVER who is a 2 year survivor of Hodgkins Lymphoma! He faught a hard battle- and has been clean for over 2 years! We are so thankful he faught as hard as he did! It was this society that made his advanced treatments possible...and its OUR support that will continue to help those currently suffering receive the most up-to-date treatments as well as help find the appropriate CURE so that no one has to suffer like Mack did!
I can promise you this society is putting OUR dollars to work. Please feel free to walk with us, donate to our team, or simply pray for us!
I must note- I am also walking in HONOR of John Westmoreland who is currently battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma...his strength and determination is truely inspiring! God's timing is ALWAYS perfect- and thats why I met the Westmorelands just in time to fight this battle with them! JOIN TEAM IN-DEPTH and walk in Honor of 2 survivors- Mack and John! :)
In advance, thank you for your support!
With love,
Lindsey :)
ABOUT LIGHT THE NIGHT:
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!
