My Fundraising Page

Hi there, and welcome to my fundraising page for Team Jack's Mannequin walking on September 25, 2011 in Minneapolis, MN. I am raising money for Andrew McMahon's Dear Jack Foundation which was started after Andrew battled cancer in 2005. He is the frontman of Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate. Not only is he an amazing musician, but he is also a cancer survivor and active in raising money for LLS. Team Jack's Mannequin's goal for this year is 125,000 dollars to bring The Dear Jack Foundation donations to a total of over 500,000 dollars.

Andrew McMahon is my hero. And I am raising money for this walk for him, for current and all cancer paticents and survivors. I have family members who have battled cancer, and family members who have lost their battles to this disease. I am raising money for them, and for all those who have been affect by this disease.

As a fundraiser, I will be selling handmade bracelets for 5 dollars each. All proceeds will be donated to this walk. You can purchase a bracelet here. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this fundraising page and any donation or bracelet purchase is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Margaret

Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage.

Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's annual fundraising walk to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer. Hundreds of thousands of participants raise funds for lifesaving research and patient services.

For more than 60 years, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has been solely focused on people with blood cancers. Presently, we have more than $250 million committed to research across the United States and in ten other countries. Every dollar is provided by concerned donors. We invest in the best, outcome based science:

• Anywhere, with no geographic or institutional boundaries
• Without profit incentive
• To meet unmet Medicare needs of people with blood cancers

And LLS funded advances are helping patients beyond those for whom they were originally developed, including people with solid tumors and auto-immune diseases. In the past decade, nearly 50% (19 out of 39) of the cancer drugs approved by the FDA were approved as treatments for blood cancer patients. Twelve are already approved for people beyond those for whom they were first developed. With your help, we are saving 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.

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!
