Welcome to Team Jack's Mannequin- Utah!

Welcome To Our Team's Homepage!

Thank you for visiting our page and opening your mind towards donating to an amazing cause. Every person, at some point in their lives, will be touched by cancer. Every little donation and effort counts, so DO YOUR PART NOW *

In 2005, Andrew McMahon of the band Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate, was diagnosed with Leukemia at the ripe old age of 22. After months of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant from his sister, Andrew was put into remission and shortly after, returned to the music scene. In 2008, Andrew released Jack's Mannequin's sophomore album, The Glass Passenger, which chronicles his battle with cancer.

Now, nearly 5 years later, Andrew and his friends and fans across the country have gathered together and formed Team Jack's Mannequin for the Light the Night Walks. Join the Utah subteam today to do your part! For further questions, contact me at ashleebraithwaite@live.com.

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.
