Hi,

My name is Tate Andrews and I am 8 months old. My mommy signed me up to participate in the Light the Night Walk to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). The Light the Night Walk is going to be on October 9, 2010 at Centennial Olympic Park. I hear there will be games and face painting and lots of other fun stuff to do.

My sisters, Lindsey and Peyton, and my mom, Amy, are walking with me. My mom's friend, Mr. John has lymphoma and we are walking in his honor. We are also walking in memory of my Great Uncle Jim who lost the battle to lymphoma.

I am a healthy baby boy, but other kids don't have it so lucky. I want to help the LLS find a cure for cancer. Will you help by making a donation or walking with our team?

You can also go to www.stickit2cancer.com to find out more about our team. Make sure to look at the awesome t-shirts.

Love, Tate

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!
