Light the Night® Walk - Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
October 15, 2005 was truly a night of hope and celebration at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 3rd Light the Night Walk for Montgomery County, PA! Katie's mom gave a speech at the opening ceremony. The weather was balmy and beautiful. The LLS was expecting 2000 walkers, but I'm sure there were more. We had a great turnout for our team -- around 65 children and adults incuding 2 of Katie's friends who were still being treatmented for leukemia, walked with us. This year was extra special for Katie. She celebrated 7 months of survivorship, and she walked the entire 2 miles!! Read our 2005 Light the Night letter that kicked off the 2005 LTN fundraiser and went out to thousands of homes in Philadelphia and surrounding counties. --$3,189.00

Light the Night Walk - Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
In October 2004, the 28 registered walkers in KATIE'S WISH exceeded our goal of $5000.00!! It was a very stormy night, but as in the previous year, the clouds cleared just in time for us to walk. We had around 60 people walking with us, and many of them were children. It was wonderful to have so many join us in Katie's honor. Katie (now 4-3/4 years old) was still in maintenance chemotherapy and wasn't able to walk herself, but had fun being pushed in the stroller with her 1-year-old brother Kyle.

Light the Night Walk - Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
In October 2003, KATIE'S WISH had 5 registered walkers. Many friends and family joined us that night to help support the cause. Katie (now 3-3/4 years old) was just out of intense chemo and in the beginning of her Maintenace chemotherapy. Kyle was only a few months old. They both enjoyed the walk from the comfort of their stroller. Being a part of the LTN Walk for the first time was a very powerful experience for us!! Photos of KATIE'S WISH - 2003 LTN. --$1500.00
