Welcome to TEAM RICK's Light The Night Walk homepage.

Dear Friend,

We are walking to be a Champion for a Cure in the name of our friend and co-worker Rick. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone else like him. Truly one of a kind, he is a loving husband and father. A loyal friend that would give you the shirt off his back. He has always been there for me with a silly sound to make me smile and is a true Christian....the real kind.

Add warrior to the list above as he is bravely battling Mantle Cell Lymphoma.

While I realize that times are tough, I hope you can make a donation to support my participation in the Light The Night Walk and help save lives. I also would greatly appreciate it if you could pass this along to the rest of your family and friends and give them an opportunity to support this cause.

Be sure to check my Web site frequently to see my progress, and thanks for your support!

Thanks!

CarolAnn Monahan - Captain of Team Rick

Information About Light The Night:

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.
