It's cancer. You have cancer.....
What if you were to hear those words.... what next?
What if your family was to hear those words..... how long?
In fact, I am sure most of you have already been in one of either of these positions.
In just a couple of days, I will be walking in memory of one of my favorite people that had to deal with just those words.
I know it's important to know where your money goes when you donate it to such special causes, so here is a breakout for what our donations do for Light the Night.
Funds raised by teams and individual walkers provide:
- • • Lifesaving blood cancer research
- • • Free educational materials and events for patients and their families
- • • Local programs such as Family Support Groups and First Connection, a peer-to-peer counseling program
- • • Comprehensive, personalized assistance through our Information Resource Center
Light The Night Walk events are evenings filled with inspiration. During this leisurely walk, walkers carry illuminated balloons - white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancer - thousands of walkers - men, women and children - form a community of caring, bringing light to the dark world of cancer.
I think the biggest and best information to hear is this:
- • 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.
This touches my heart so much, that our donations - help people who have just heard those fightening words, " You have cancer..." and gives them back the power and the hope, by getting them FREE information to help them decide "what's next"?
