Your help is greatly needed. Read this quote from a locally funded LLS researcher:
"In these times of economic stress, the fight we are waging against cancer is being affected on multiple fronts. Patients and their families are finding it more difficult to afford their treatments just as the government funding for research is being cut. It is critical during times like these to support dedicated organizations like the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society so that they can continue to support the important research being done to fight blood cancers."
- Dr. Dave Kashatus
LLS funded researcher at Duke University

2009 Light The Night Walks Exceed Goal!
$423,000
Thank you to all of the incredible Light The Night Walkers, donors, sponsors and volunteers who helped make this year's Walks the best yet! Our goal in Eastern NC was to raise $403,000. With your support, we raised even more life-saving funds and hit $423,000 that will be invested in research and patient services to benefit those battling blood cancers. Nationally, Light The Night Walks will raise $38 million in 2009 alone - Pretty incredible! Thank YOU for being a HERO in this fight! Because of you, we are able to offer more programs to our patients, fund more research and reach out to more newly diagnosed patients. Your support saves lives! We look forward to walking with you again in 2010!!
