Welcome to Marty's Light The Night Walk homepage!

Personally knowing someone who is currently battling Lymphoma, I have been intimately affected by blood cancer. If I can help raise money so others in the future don't have to go through what I've witnessed, I'll do all I can. Please help me! I know times are tough, I know the economy BLOWS == trust me. I know you all don't have a ton of extra money. BUT, I also know you can spare $10. Don't go to Starbuck's this week. Skip the midnight Del Taco runs for a month. Do whatever you can to help out, please. I absolutely believe that what goes around comes around, and I really believe that helping such a worthy cause like LLS will pay off ten fold. So pretty please, help me help LLS erradicate ugly, nasty, terrible blood cancer.

That said, here's what it's all about:

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.
• Hell, a donation of $10 is RAD! So don't be discouraged if that's all you can give. It absolutely helps!! :)

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!
