Light The Night

this Saturday is the Light the Night Walk!

I am looking forward to it--will be the easiest one yet, now that I've got this fabulous new hip that got last summer! woo hoo!

but on a more serious note, I will walk not only to celebrate in thanks for my remission, which I pray will continue, but for all the support , knowledge, research that the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society provide. Also, the past two years I've participated, three people, all close to my age, that I was acquainted with from my work, have passed away. Two had a more advanced leukemia, the other lymphoma, all were given the best care and treatment available. However, the oral chemotherapy drug that I take every day, Gleevec, does not help the types of blood disease that these three had. I pray that new ongoing research will bring new and successful treatments for all.

If anyone out there in blogland is interested in sponsoring me or would like to know more about the Society or the Walk, please visit www.active.com/donate/ltnSanFr1/1895_HPazminLTN
