You will not give up. You have two children that need you. It won't be an easy journey; it will humble you, make you stronger, wiser, and test everything in you, but always know that God is walking beside you.

Leukemia Survivor

Light The Night means everything to me. Within the first week of being diagnosed with APL leukemia (sub-type of Acute Myeloid Leukemia), my mother reached out to LLS as a resource for me and they were that and so much more.

Two years after my diagnosis and subsequent remission, I became a team captain for LTN in Rockville. Light The Night is and always has been a night of humility, strength, pride, and remembrance. To see people come together for a cause that is so close to my heart is awe inspiring and a reminder of the how and why I am so proud fo be part of LLS and Light The Night.
