Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am joining my patient's team and walking Light the Night for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She created a team because she just lost her mom to Leukemia. My aunt (Auntie Ann) is currently battling AML and it's been a really tough road.
I am fundraising for it as I have a goal to hit (follow our journey here), and I am humbly reaching out to you, my business community, to support this noble cause.
Here are some pics of my family and I visiting Auntie Ann in San Francisco recently, as well as one from the event. I hope you will join us as we fight for cures and support for those with AML.
Thank you for reading,
Lea
A bit more about the event….
In the world of philanthropy and community support, one event stands out as a shining beacon of hope. On September 21, 2023, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) will host their highly anticipated Light the Night event. This exceptional gathering aims to bring together individuals from all walks of life, uniting them in a common cause: to raise awareness and funds for research and support services.
Light the Night serves as a powerful testament to their commitment, providing a platform for survivors, supporters, and those who have lost loved ones to share their stories and find solace in a community of understanding.
At Light the Night, participants will carry lanterns, each representing a unique connection to the cause. The red lanterns signify the unwavering support of dedicated individuals, while the white lanterns serve as a symbol of hope for survivors who have triumphed over the challenges of blood cancer. Additionally, gold lanterns will be lit to honor the memories of those who have sadly lost their lives to this relentless disease. Together, these lanterns will illuminate the night sky, creating a breathtaking display that embodies the resilience and determination of the human spirit.
The event invites individuals and teams to fundraise in support of LLS's mission, empowering them to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by blood cancers. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, share their experiences, and forge lasting bonds within a community that understands the unique challenges posed by these diseases.
Light the Night is more than just an event. It is a poignant reminder that by joining forces, we can overcome even the most formidable obstacles. The funds raised through this event will fuel groundbreaking research, enabling scientists and medical professionals to develop innovative treatments and improve the quality of life for patients. Additionally, the event's proceeds will provide comprehensive support services to patients and their families, offering them the much-needed assistance and guidance throughout their journey.
As the countdown to September 21, 2023, begins, individuals from all corners of society are eagerly preparing to come together under the banner of Light the Night. With each step taken and every dollar raised, they will illuminate a path of hope, resilience, and progress. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night event promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Thank you for your support!!
