My Fundraising Page

Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage.

It is with great sadness and a very heavy heart that I share with you the passing of my uncle, Charles Fina. After almost 2 years of fiercely battling against Leukemia, Charlie passed in May, with his family at his bedside.

After being diagnosed with Leukemia in June of 2007, and many months of aggressive treatment, Charlie enjoyed a short period of remission in the summer and early fall of 2008. During these months he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, vacationing with his family, and working in the office. In the following months, his treatments became less effective and complications continued. He spent countless hours in the care of very talented physicians, who provided every possible treatment, and gave him every opportunity for survival. Ultimately, his Leukemia out-ran the treatments.

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.

This is my second year serving as captain for Team Fina and this year's walk obviously has very special meaning to me. In addition, Team Michael C. Fina is very honored to have been named a a National Sponsor by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for this year's walk. Night Walk. Over the past two years, the Michael C. Fina team has been able to raise over $200,000 to fund 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.
