Please click here and "Light the Night" for Courtney. She is beautiful, is she not?
I hope all f you do not mind me posting this on my blog, as it is personal and kinda asking for help. My cousin and her husband just found out their 2 year old daughter, Courtney, has Leukemia. Her treatments will last longer than she has been alive. I have included a link to the Light the Night Walk that is being held for her in San Diego, California where I am from originally. Below are the words on the site, above is a link to the site. Thanks!
Thanks for visiting COURTNEY'S FRIENDS Light The Night homepage. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk is the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of patients, just like our Courtney, battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost.
The Society funds lifesaving cancer research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and many other types of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants that have prolonged and enhanced the lives of patients. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue have already begun to provide drugs and procedures that are improving quality of life.
But more research is critically needed:
* Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every ten minutes, someone dies.
* Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer
* More than 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2006
* The survival rate for myeloma is just 33 per cent
Please make a donation to support Courtney's Light The Night Walk and help save lives. Be sure to check this Web site frequently to see our progress, and again, thanks for your support!
