Are you ready to make an impact?

I am walking in honor of Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin) and Jon Lester (Boston Red Sox).

UPDATE:

On Saturday, October 3, 2009, at midnight our beautiful and beloved Matthew passed away at the City of Hope Helford Hospital in Duarte, CA. He was at peace when he succumbed to the terrible blood cancer that he has been so valiantly fighting for the past 1-1/2 years. He is now with God in Heaven and is finally free of cancer and all worldly pain and suffering. He is in a better place! May he finally rest in peace. He will live in all of our hearts and minds forever.

Matt was a huge part of Light the Night this year, raising over $5,000. Please make a donation to my page in honor of him.

Thanks.

These terrible diseases affect thousands of people. You can help - every dollar counts!

Please help me in fighting blood cancer. Even the smallest of donations can be a huge help. I thank each and every donator for their kindness and support. God bless you.

Here is some information about the event:

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!
