Dear Friends & Family:
On Saturday, October 1st Team Pipeline Work Clothes will be walking in the Light The Night Walk at the Augusta Common to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We will join over 1500 other people in finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood cancers. The Light The Night walk is a nationwide evening walk to celebrate and commemorate lives touched by cancer. Each year we walk in honor of Shirley Owens. Shirley was diagnosed with lymphoma in April of 2006. Since the time Shirley was diagnosed, we have heard of many friends who are now dealing with a blood cancer. Over the last two years we have raised over $11,000 for the Light The Night Walk and to find a CURE for blood cancers.
-Leukemia is the number one disease killer of children under age 20.
-Almost one million Americans currently live with blood cancer.
-Every four minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
-Every ten minutes someone dies from a blood cancer.
I am writing to ask for your support. Team Pipeline Work Clothes have set a team goal of $5000. I am asking you to make a donation to help us reach our goal. You can also join our team to assist in the fight. This money will go to LLS for research, patient services, advocacy, and education. Over $250 million is currently committed to research worldwide through LLS and over $65,000 has been given in local financial aid in the past year. To see last year’s Augusta Light The Night walk, watch this video.
