I have been participating in Light The Night for over 5 years. I am living with Follicular Lymphoma. After 2 1/2 years of treatment, I’m in partial remission but side effects limit my daily activities and prevent me from working.
I participate in Light The Night because I want to provide support to others and help fund more effective, less toxic treatments and a cure. I was able to reach the $5,000 milestone because of the support from my amazing family and friends, emails, social media and a paint & wine night fundraiser. I have a team in Toronto and my daughter has a team in Vancouver - we’re a national super team!
Canadians should support those affected by blood cancer because blood cancer is complicated. Blood cancer patients have imperfect immune systems. Many blood cancers are currently incurable.
