Our Story:

Yeah, we do the whole sibling rivalry thing. We disagree on a lot of things - but one of the things we have in common - we want leukemia to stop hurting people -so we decided to partner up with one of our favorite singers to help raise awareness and funds for research.

We all know someone who was hurt by cancer - don't you wanna be part of the solution?

What will happen is we will be doing a walk, and YOU have the opportunity of sponsoring us. If you wanna be a part of this, show your support by donating a buck or a two (or a lot more....our goal is $1800...) Every little bit counts. :)

We spoke to a rav, and it is perfectly acceptable to use maaser money for this.

Tizku l'mitzvot!

About the walk and the organization:

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.

Please make a donation to support our participation in the Light The Night Walk and help save lives. Be sure to check our Web site frequently to see our progress.

Thanks for your support!
