Welcome to my Light The Night Walkhomepage.
I am honored to help my favorite artist Blake Shelton raise
money for a cause that means so much to me. I am dedicating my
efforts to two people who are very special to me. My niece Dawn
Bramkamp who is an AML survivor and my good friend Cindy Conner who
is in the midst of her battle with cancer right now. Their strength
has been an inspiration and encouragement to me.
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.
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!
