.Jack Wagner as Dominic “Nick” Marone
A special message from Jack Wagner:
As some of you may know, I lost my father in 1990 to multiple myeloma and in 1999 my brother Dennis was diagnosed with leukemia. He has relapsed four separate times, enduring many rounds of chemotherapy and the challenges that come along with recovery. In 2007, Dennis received a complete bone marrow transplant and is still fighting a daily battle against complications associated with the procedure.
Despite several hospitalizations over the past year, Dennis remains positive and grateful for the support of his family. He also remains committed to the important work that’s being done by The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) to find a cure for all blood cancers. That’s why I got involved and started the Jack Wagner Celebrity Golf Classic benefitting LLS. There is so much left to do.
On Saturday, October 2nd, LLS will be holding its annual Light the Night Walk in Griffith Park. That night more than 2,500 survivors and their loved ones will gather to offer help and hope to the millions of people like Dennis who are living with blood cancer and to pay tribute to the many that have lost their battle with this terrible disease. I will be there to show my support.
Dennis is still with us today because of new lifesaving treatments that have been funded by LLS through events like Light the Night.
Thank you for your support.
All my best,
Jack
Cast members from “The Bold & the Beautiful” scheduled to join Jack at the Griffith Park Light The Night on October 2nd include: Lesley-Anne Down, Sarah Joy Brown, Brandon Beemer, Kim Matula and Texas Battle.
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.
