Last spring The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was included among the charities that Gap, Inc. supports through their Give & Get campaign. If you're reading this blog there's a good chance that you recall this campaign, as a large number of our friends and contacts downloaded a discount coupon on our behalf. So many of you did so that we ended up collecting an impressive $600,000 for our fight against blood cancers!

 

We want to thank all of you who contributed to the Spring campaign -- and all of you who shared the link to the coupon with your networks of friends. You made this happen, and for that we're grateful.

 

Now we'd like to call upon your help in thanking our friends at Gap! How did you feel about participating in this campaign? How has our work at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society helped you or your loved ones? Share your stories in the comment section of this blog post, below, and help us show Gap the impact of this campaign. We can't think of any better way to say thank you.

 

And if you have pictures of you or your family in some of the Gap, Inc. clothes you acquired through the campaign -- send them in to partner@lls.org and we may feature them on our Gap Thank You page.   Campaigns like Gap's Give & Get program go a long way in serving our mission - helping blood cancer patients live longer, better lives.

 

Thanks to you -- and partners like Gap, we're that much closer to finding a cure for blood cancers.

The Light The Night Walk Blog will aim to bring you news and stories on our Light The Night Walk program in an informal and spontaneous style.

What is Light The Night Walk?

 

 

Celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year, Light The Night Walk is an annual walk event that raises funds for blood cancer cures. The Walk is casual and doesn’t require you to be in shape, so anyone is welcome to join. There are also incentives for different fundraising levels. Learn more about how you can participate in a walk near you.

 

Who is the National Spokesperson?

 

||Rob Brown, an actor who plays football legend Ernie Davis in the new film The Express, is Light The Night Walk 's 2008 spokesperson.\ Davis, who was the first African American to win the Heisman Trophy, died of leukemia at the age of 23. Brown says that playing Davis helped him "understand that all blood cancer patients deserve to live better, longer lives."
