Annie's Fundraising Page

Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage!

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. 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.

*Why I am inspired to do this:

Andrew McMahon is the lead singer/song writer/pianist of my 2 favorite bands : Something Corporate & Jack's Mannequin. He was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the summer of 2005. He fought the war with cancer and won! His music is so positive and has inspired me to become a better & understanding person. By doing this, I want to help spread that inspiration everywhere.

So please, help by making a big or small donation. Your support is greatly appreciated! And please, feel free to come back and check the progress or if you want to make another donation! Thanks a million!

***I will be walking at the Anaheim Walk for Team Jack's Mannequin on Aug.22.09***
