My Fundraising Page for "TEAM WEEZY"

"IN HONOR OF LOUISE MINIERI PRIVITERA"

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.

This is Team Weezy's first year participating in the Light The Night Walk. We decided to join this cause because we have seen first hand the daily struggles that Louise is currently going through. Some of the procedures that she is undergoing are made possible by the research that was funded by this Society. We know that there are a tremendous amount of people that are following her progress, and are wanting to do something to help. This is a great way to show your support.

There are two ways that you could help, make a donation and participate in the walk. Our goal is not only to raise as much money as possible but to be able to walk with all her friends and supporters. Be sure to check our Web site frequently to see our progress, and thanks for your support!
