Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage.

2010 marks the 5th year I'll be participating as a member of Light The Night Team Jack's Mannequin. It's a great event that I learned about back in 2006 while doing a piece about The Dear Jack Foundation. Check it out if you have a chance. Thank you so much for your support as we fight blood cancers!

P.S. If you make a donation of at least $25, I will make you a baked good or sweet treat of your choice as a thank you! (not kidding - but if you live out of the LA area this may get complicated)

P.P.S.

Mark your calendars people for Sunday, 9/19 at El Torito in Santa Monica from 6pm-9pm for a Fund Raising Fiesta! Get your flier here.

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.

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!
