Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Light the Night

I will be walking the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk for the fifth year in a row.  I have worked on this fund raiser every year since I was first diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.  It is truly an inspiring evening of walking with lighted balloons, red for supporters and white for survivors and gold for those who have lost the battle.
I not only walk for myself but for all those who have suffered from blood cancers some of them in silence.
I have become a patient advocate to spread the word about blood cancer.  Few people know that SEPTEMBER IS BLOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH IN NEW JERSEY.
 The LLS is trying to make September blood cancer awareness month nationwide.  You can help by contacting your congress person. Here is the link:Act now to make September Blood Cancer Awareness Month

The Light the Night New Jersey Team will be on Good Morning America on Channel 7 ABC on Wednesday September 22.  I don't know if it is an interview or just in the audience as I have been.  The show airs from 7 AM to 9 AM when I am usually exercising so I will watch it on the Internet.

I am walking the Light the Night walk on Saturday October 2 at Princeton Forrestal Village.  The ceremony starts at 5:00 PM and is usually over by 9:00 PM.  We walk rain or shine in warm weather and cold weather and I have had all of that.
If you would like to donate to my team my web page is :

 I hope you donate the cost of one less cup of Starbucks coffee or Latte even more if your company will match.
You have until JANUARY 31 TO DONATE!  Think about your tax deductions. 
Remember I am walking for a cure.  The researchers are close to getting cures for some blood cancers but they need money for this.  Researchers are humans who have families and houses and need to eat so you will be stimulating the economy by donating to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!!!  Think of that!

HomeSharing Fundraiser

The Board of World Fellowship supports HomeSharing which provides affordable housing by allowing people who have rooms in their homes to share with a person who needs housing. It started in Somerset County, expanded to Hunterdon County and is now expanding to Morris and Union Counties.
Scampi's Restaurant in Somervile will donate 15% of your bill to HomeSharing. The restaurant is at 198 Main Street in Somerville NJ. Somerville is the County seat of Somerset County and has a lot of Antique Shops as well as the Courthouse. They are closed on Monday.
I hope you will find time to go. It is not far from the Bridgewater Mall if that will tempt you.
The discount sheet is posted above or you can e-mail me and I will send it to you.

As a member of Faithful Reform in Health Care, the United Church of Christ invites you to a:

Health Care Conference Call with President Obama

"Linking Faith and Community Leaders to New Benefits & Information"

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

4 pm ET -- 3 pm CT -- 2 pm MT -- 1 pm PT

A Conference call for Faith and Community Leaders

with the President of the United States

Hosted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

and the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships

RSVP now! (An RSVP is not required, but it will ensure that you get the call-in and web access details when they are released.)

Download a flier/bulletin insert that can be distributed at gatherings of your faith community in the days ahead. The text includes information about the call and a list of new benefits that take effect in new plans on/after September 23.

September 23 will mark the six-month anniversary of health care reform. You are invited to join President Obama for a conference call to discuss key new benefits of the Affordable Care Act. As trusted messengers, it is important that faith leaders have the most up-to-date information and resources about these new benefits to share with our communities of faith and congregations.

Highlights of the call:

• HHS officials will provide an update on the Affordable Care Act, highlight new outreach resources, and answer questions from faith and community leaders.

• Leaders will also share their efforts to bring the benefits of health care reform home to communities.

• President Obama will speak to key issues related to health reform implementation.

Save the date and plan to join us for this important conversation!

Blessings,

Barbara Baylor

Minister for Health Care Justice
