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.

I am walking in honor of my friend Kelly Curran who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia/Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (AML/APL) on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in 2008. She has been through numerous rounds of chemotherapy and has worked hard to beat the cancer. (Kelly's daughter Jenelle is 6 and suffers from a rare form of Epilepsy called Lennox Gastaut Syndrome.) You can follow Kelly and Jenelle's progress on her website at http://jenellesjourney.blogspot.com. Kelly is such a wonderful and positive individual and I am proud to call her my friend. Please help me support the efforts of this wonderful organization to help her and others like her by finding the cure for blood cancers!
