Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage.

What better reason to be a part of the Light the Night Walk sponsored by The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society than to help my beautiful granddaughter Keely (pictured above) and other children like her? This one night, set aside every year, when the nation pays tribute and brings hope to thousands of people, adults and children alike, battling cancers and commemorate loved ones lost.

Keely was diagnosed in March, just weeks short of her 4th birthday and just days after her premature baby brother was born. She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or ALL and immediately began chemo treatments and will continue daily and weekly treatments for the next two and a half years. Even though Keely is considered high risk she is doing great and we expect her to have a long and happy life, thanks to the research that has been funded by people like you!

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! And know that all contributions impact not just Keely's life but the lives of so many other children and their families!

Thank you for caring!
