Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage

in memory of Deana Dunne Reynolds

Join me in the quest to cure blood cancers as I honor the memory of my dear friend Deana Dunne Reynolds who lost her 11-month battle with Burkitt's Lymphoma on July 27, 2009. Deana was 39 years old and the mother of two young boys - 3 and 4.5 (pictured above). She is forever in my heart.

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.

• 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.

This will be my familly's first year to participate in the Light the Night walk.

• Deana (mother of 2 preschool boys) - Burkitt's Lymphoma
• Staci (mother of a 2-year old boy) - Hodgkins Lymphoma
