Do you have or know someone who is currently battling with Leukemia? A nephew-in-law is currently on controlled condition of Leukemia. He is only 14 years old, with so many aspirations including becoming a basketball superstar. The spread of the Big C in his system was very radical. He was diagnosed in early 2013 and from then on has undergone chemotheraphy. 

The sessions made his liver and heart weak, but then by God's mercy and grace his condition improved and was able to reached a controlled level. He is now back to learning, as he started homeschooling this year.

This fall, let’s walk to the end of cancer by joining The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light The Night Walk fundraising campaign, which brings together families and communities to honor blood cancer survivors, as well as those lost to the diseases, and to shine a light on finding cures and providing access to treatments for blood cancer patients.

 

One group that deserves our attention is children with cancer. Leukemia is the most common cancer in children and adolescents less than 20 years old. While extraordinary progress has been made in blood cancer treatments, the journey back to a healthy life can be a long one. For these kids, returning to school means additional challenges, from maintaining friendships to keeping up with schoolwork.

 

You can make an impact.

This year, Sylvan Learning is partnering with LLS through Light The Night, with a commitment to raise $250,000 and to donate more than 12,000 hours of free tutoring services in nearly 200 communities nationwide to help young blood cancer patients and their families with the transition back to school.

 

Here’s how you can help:

• There are nearly 200 Light the Night walks nationwide this fall. It’s easy to walk by registering and joining a team.
• Learn more about how LLS and Sylvan are helping young cancer patients and their families manage. Check this out!
• Find a walk in your area, and join a Sylvan Learning walk team in supporting this great cause.

​

I’m going to join Light the Night with my family. Won’t you join us? Let’s all walk to the end of cancer and, at the same time, you can help kids get back into the swing of school, often while they are still undergoing treatment.
