Dear Friends and Family,
This will be our 10th year to participate
in Light the Night, the annual fund raiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society. Rae and I are thankful for your support over these past
years! We do this in memory of my daughter, Andrea Brooks. Andrea
lost her battle with leukemia 9 years ago. After our loss, we established
our team, “Andrea’s Angels” to join in the fight for a cure. We feel proud
that our contribution to this effort is making a difference! The LLS is
making fabulous progress with cures and treatments. We continually
miss Andrea, and feel this is the best way to honor her memory.
For the second year, our Savannah team will join the
Northern Virginia team in Washington, DC. We are very excited to
participate in DC, and hope that the location will allow family and friends to
join us. The walk will be held on October 19, 2013, at Freedom
Plaza (13th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue). Festivities begin
at 5PM and the walk will commence at 7PM. We look forward to an amazing
event as Andrea’s Angels join hundreds of others strongly committed to the
fight for a cure. We would LOVE to have you join us!
If you haven’t completed your
charitable donations for the year, we ask that you consider making a tax
deductible donation in Andrea’s memory to the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society. You may donate by inserting this web site into your
browser: http://pages.lightthenight.org/ga/Savannah13/andreasangels
If you have already completed your charitable donations for
the year, then please remember Andrea in your thoughts and prayers.
As always, we truly appreciate your caring support,
Donna and Rae
