A big "thank you" to all who are participating in Light the Night Walks tonight, and on other nights this Fall, in many different places! The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society sponsors these walks, which raise money for medical research and patient support programs.
It's a great organization - as is the Lymphoma Research Foundation, which has a more specialized mission focusing on lymphoma alone.
Here's a news report in which Saturday Night Live veteran Tina Fey speaks of her support for the cause:
Since my December 2, 2005 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis, I've been on a slow-motion journey of survivorship. Chemo wiped out my aggressive disease in May, 2006, but an indolent variety is still lurking. I had my thyroid removed due to papillary thyroid cancer in 2011, and was diagnosed with recurrent thyroid cancer in 2017. Join me for a survivor's reflections on life, death, faith, politics, the Bible and everything else. DISCLAIMER: I’m not a doctor, so don't look here for medical advice.

I salute the founders of that organization. I adore you also for your bravery in that kind of disease. You serve as an inspiration to many.
