I have been a CML WARRIOR for over 6 years now, fighting for my life in my fight against Leukemia.  I have the blood disease called 

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia or CML for short.  This type of 

Leukemia is caused when some of your blood

cells, and in my case, the cell # 9 transfers with cell # 22 

which causes the  cells to grow and divide too rapidly and 

instead of muturing and


dying as they are supposed to do, they stay in your blood 

stream and marrow until they crowd out the good blood cells.


I decided to write the book "Leukemia One Woman's Battle 

For Survival" in order to share my battle against this horrible

Leukemia with you so that if you have to fight this CML, you

will know what to do and how to fight.


This book on Leukemia is the story of my battle with 

Leukemia.  I have


included exerpts from my personal diary from the beginning


of my fight to present day.


Yes, I am still here and still fighting Leukemia daily.


The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will help you in every

Leukemia Light The Night Walk

Light The Night Walk:
Taking Steps To Cure Cancer
Each year, in communities all across the United States and Canada teams of families, friends, co-workers and local and national corporations come together to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS's) Light The Night Walk events and bring help and hope to people battling blood cancers.

Every Light The Night walker is encouraged to become a Champion For Cures by raising $100 or more to help fight blood cancer.

Funds raised by teams and individual walkers provide:

Lifesaving blood cancer research
Free educational materials and events for patients and their families
Local programs such as Family Support Groups and First Connection, a peer-to-peer counseling program
Comprehensive, personalized assistance through our Information Resource Center
Light The Night Walk events are evenings filled with inspiration. During this leisurely walk, walkers carry illuminated balloons - white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancer - thousands of walkers - men, women and children - form a community of caring, bringing light to the dark world of cancer.

We are Taking Steps To Cure Cancer! Join us!

Illuminated balloons, Light the Night T-shirts and a wrist band entitling walkers to enjoy food and refreshments are provided to all walkers who become a Champion For Cures by raising $100 or more to help fight blood cancer.
The Walk is done at a leisurely pace and take less than an hour to complete.
Strollers and wheelchairs are welcome. However, for everyone's safety, bicycles, inline skates, wheelie footwear, skateboards and scooters are not allowed.
Walks take place rain or shine.
