Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk

My name is Raquel Johannes, I am a Senior at Helix Charter High School and as a graduation requirement, I am fundraising and participating at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's annual Light the Night Walk. We are living in an extraordinary moment. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is on the brink of incredible breakthroughs that have already begun to change the lives of thousands of patients; treatments that can manage a person's condition with a daily pill, therapies that seek out cancer cells and kill them, and the use of a patient's own immune system to eradicate cancer not someday, but today. By getting donations by people around my community, we could help find a cure. As little as donating $1, we as a community can make a difference and change lives. By using the link below, visit my page and please make a donation. No one deserves to loose their life because of cancer.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk funds those treatments.

Please make a donation and check my Web site frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
