Line and Terri Dempsey are the owners of NC Touring and are endeavoring to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. As in years past, Terri is offering her very own handcrafted items with each $25.00 donation (while supplies last) to commemorate the 2020 walk.
For the Twelfth year in a row, we will be walking in memory of Line's father, William Linebaugh Dempsey, III. We will also be walking in memory of some dear friends affected by leukemia and/or blood diseases who passed away: Ms. Jean Stewart & Ms. Lucille Martin (daughter and mother) & Ms. Sheryl Hardee, who was the owner of Ella's of Calabash Seafood Restaurant, Erin Hollo & Jimmy Warren (family members of friends from the NC Dental Board).
We also walk in honor of some of our friends and family who are Survivors of Cancer (Kevin Penn, Mick Ayers, Mebette Forslin, Kathy Spinney, Kenny Jones and Grace Howard.)
Join us in bringing light to the darkness of cancer! We are forming a fundraising walk team for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Light The Night. Register today to join our team or make a donation and help fund cancer cures! In 2019, LLS helped advance 12 of 14 approved blood cancer therapies. Light The Night raises critical funds to support these advances and to provide patient support & advocacy for patients like Krew. By giving a donation today, you can help children like Krew. At just 5 months old, Krew was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Since Krew’s form of leukemia was very aggressive, it needed to be dealt with aggressively. After months in the hospital, on July 25th, 2018, Krew and his family were finally able to leave the hospital - he was officially in remission. Today, Krew and his family live every day to the fullest and have made making memories their highest priority. Cancer is tough, but we are tougher! Thank you for your support.
