Hi friends and family,
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is doing their yearly fundraiser called "Light the Night". Light The Night Walk is a fundraising and awareness campaign that brings together families and communities to honor blood cancer survivors, as well as those lost to the diseases. These walks take place all over the country, and I've created three teams for walking in the following locations Washington DC, Salt Lake City and San Antonio. If you would like to walk with one of these teams please follow the instructions below to register for the team. Note the date and time of the walk in the city you are signing up for, as they are different in each city. You do NOT have to donate money in order to participate in the walk. If you are not walking, but would still like to donate, please follow the instructions for donating at the end of this email, and use the link to the Washington, DC team. Otherwise you can donate to the team that you are walking with.
The LLS has invested over $1 Billion to develop better cancer treatments over the last 60 years, and $.90 of every $1 donated goes directly to their mission: to cure leukemia,
lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life for patients and their families. These treatments spill over into other types of cancer and diseases.
Let me know if you have any questions or issues with registering/donating.
Thanks!
Anthony Roring
