Welcome to our Light The Night Walk Homepage!

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.

Jack's Mannequin is a "piano rock" band led by songwriter, vocalist, and pianist, Andrew McMahon. In 2005, Andrew was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After a successful bone marrow transplant from his sister and intensive chemotherapy, Andrew has been cancer-free for approximately four years. Andrew is a devoted advocate of the Light the Night Walks and promotes them through the Dear Jack Foundation. In 2008, the Jack's Mannequin national team raised over $102,000 through Light the Night Walks. We're hoping to help continue this tradition. We walk for Andrew and in honor and memory of many loved ones who have fought cancer.
