Since there is band practice on Thursday nights, I know many of the Kappa Kappa Psi brothers can't go but I wanted to let everyone know about this years' Leukemia and Lymphoma Society walk. If you know anyone who can go, please let them know about this. The walk begins at 6 pm at the Union Station Train Shed in Montgomery on Thursday, September 25th. You can visit the website at www.lightthenight.org to register for the walk. “Light The Night” is a two-to-three mile nationwide evening walk, held annually to celebrate and commemorate the lives of people touched by cancer. Walkers hold illuminated balloons-white for survivors, red for supporters- and light the night with hope. The Walk is a community celebration with music, refreshments and entertainment-where friends, family members, neighbors, co-workers and fraternities come together to demonstrate their support for cancer patients. Team members raise funds by encouraging others to contribute. Funds will be used for research to find cures for blood cancers-leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma-and to improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their families. The need for cures is critical: Every five minutes, someone in this country is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Every nine minutes, someone dies. Leukemia is the leading cause of disease-related death among children under the age of 15. No one should suffer this. Please help us keep Stevens' memory alive!
