In honor of my friend Darya Williams who is fighting Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), I have created a team for the Light the Night walk called, "Darya's Fight" in order to show support for my dearest friend of over twenty-five years, to build awareness for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and to raise money for research so that a cure for Leukemia and Lymphoma can be found. Darya is one of the lucky ones. She discovered her cancer by listening to her body and advocating for herself by requesting an additional blood panel screening prior to having another procedure. It was through her gut instinct and intuition that she caught it early. It's so important for us to listen to our inner voice, pay attention to our bodies and advocate for our own health. If we don't take care of #1, no one else will. I choose me. Please choose you. We choose Darya.
Please join Darya and me for the "Light the Night" walk in Walnut Creek, CA on Saturday, October 13, 2018, in person or virtually and consider donating to our team. We are only going to find a cure with much more research and continuous funding. I appreciate your time.
Thanks to dedicated people like you, funds raised from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Light The Night Walk help support the research of blood cancer treatments that save lives.
