Austin's Warriors is a team formed in honor of Austin Allen's fight and success in beating the battle of Leukemia. Austin was diagnose with Leukemia on Oct 2008 at age 2 months old. We are proud to say that Austin is now cancer free and "Kicked Cancer's Butt!" He will be celebrating his 3rd birthday in July 2011. Austin kicked cancer's butt because of the support from friends, family, hospital staff, research doctors and origination's like LLS. We want to see many more kids, men and women "Kick Cancer's Butt!" just as Austin did. With your donation to LLS , that can happen for many.
Thank you! Team Captain's Natasha Allen and Karrie Munkittrick
2011Team Sponsors:
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. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving quality of life.
In fact, in 2009 alone, LLS researchers were conducting more than 90 clinical trials, a critical step in the development of new treatments and cures that will help patients live better, longer 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.
