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!
