Light the Night - WE NEED YOU!

Hello All,

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, (LLS), is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that raises money for patient support services and ground breaking research for blood cancers.  The Light the Night Walk on November 1st is Bakersfield's night to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer.  We feel strongly about getting involved with LLS to do something to help my dad and others who are fighting this intense battle and to spread the essence of HOPE.  We have a team goal of raising $5,000. We will not be successful without help from supporters like you!  Any gift, small or large, is important!! 

So, what's the call to action? 

My sister, cousin, and I have created a Light the Night team and we ask you to participate!  We ask that you contribute to our team by visiting the page below.  Please contact me for any help you may need with the website.

So, what will my donation do?

·                  Offer a wide variety of community services to patients and their families

·                  Develop "targeted therapies" that kill cancer cells selectively 

·                  Test immunotherapies

·                  Improve the safety of today's cures

·                  Help patients and their families make informed decisions 

·                  Provide financial aid and co-pay assistance

·                  Encourage scientists to pursue blood cancer research

The best part is that all funds raised stay local in the Central California Chapter which services patients and their families in Bakersfield, Visalia, and Fresno.  

If interested, we also ask that you come out and walk with us at this event at the Riverwalk Park on Stockdale Highway on November 1^st at 4 pm.  We hope to have a large team of supporters walking for and with my dad.  More information on the walk itself on http://www.lightthenight.org/cca/
