Welcome to Team Presley's Light The Night Walk homepage.


Our team is walking for Presley Boydstun, who was diagnosed with ALL (ph+), a form of leukemia, in May of 2009. You can learn more about this amazing, (almost 12 year old) volleyball playing, super cool, fun loving girl, at www.pbkicksit.com. We would love to have as many people show up as possible! Lets show Presley how many people are in this fight with her! Come on out and help us walk all over Leukemia!!!


The walk will be held on Sunday, October 25, 2009 at Market Street in The Woodlands, Texas. There will be food, fun and games for the whole family beginning at 5:30 with a casual two mile walk starting at 7:30 p.m.


Presley is designing t-shirts for us to wear for the big walk. More info will be coming soon.


85% of the funds raised will be kept right here in the Houston area for blood cancer research.



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.
