Mike's Light The Night Page

Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage.

I've been walking in this event for many years now, ever since my Dad was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. Thanks to the great research of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, he was given fantastic treatment and got 12 quality years beyond original diagnosis. I will continue to walk and always support the Society for those extra times I was able to enjoy with him.

I'm walking with the team from Saint Louis University School of Law and their Public Interest Law Group. Hope you'd like to join our team and walk with is. It really is an amazing event and quite a site to see when 5000+ lit up balloons parade through Forest Park.

If you can't walk and would like to help, please make a donation to support my participation.

Want to see a photo gallery of the teams walk last year, go to this URL:

Thank You So Much for your support.

Note: the photo is from the 2008 walk. Our team thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Public Interest Law Group Co-captains (Lauren Groebe and Abby Bonjean) raised over $6100. Amazing what people can do working together for the better goal of the team and cause.

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.
