"Walk as if your life depended on it, because someone's life does!"
2011 RICHMOND LIGHT THE NIGHT WALK
Thank you so much for your generous support in previous years. I have just celebrated five years as a cancer survivor since being diagnosed on May 11, 2006 with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, and many of you have walked this journey with me.
The Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's annual fundraising walk to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer. Hundreds of thousands of participants raise funds for lifesaving research and patient services. It will be held in the Richmond, VA area on Saturday, 10/22/2011 starting at Albert Hill Middle School in Carytown. Money raised by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in events like this was directly responsible for the research used to create Gleevec, which is the cancer treatment I take daily.
This will be my 5th year supporting this walk, and I encourage you to help out my team "HE Lights the Night" in one of 5 ways:
1. Donate money to the cause (also check with your company about matching contributions). You can donate on our team site here. Click the link on that page to make an online donation, or, if you want to send a check rather than donating online, please make out to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and send to my home address: 6110 Topping Lane Glen Allen, VA 23060.
2. Join my team via this site (A "Join Our Team Now" button is at the very bottom of the linked page) and help raise money for the Walk. Every dollar matters!
3. Simply show up and walk with my team on Saturday, 10/22/2011 starting at Albert Hill Middle School in Carytown, Richmond, VA. Click here to join the event on Facebook.
4. Volunteer at the Walk.
5. Pray for the success of the cause!!
Please join our team's effort today. Your participation in the Light The Night Walk will help save lives. Please continue to ask me about how the efforts are going or about others ways you can help. I would love to talk to you about it. Be sure to check our website frequently to see our progress, and again, thanks for your support!
Thank You!
Bobby Wright and the "HE Lights the Night" Team
