WHY WE WALK!


Team Shawn was started in 2007 after our oldest son Shawn was diagnosed with
Hodgkin's Lymphoma at the age of 20. After nearly a two year battle, Shawn ultimately lost the fight. We are here to be advocates on behalf of Shawn and all those who lost their lives fighting blood cancers.

This blog follows Team Shawn and their 2011/2012 fund raising efforts. All proceeds raised will go to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "LIGHT THE NIGHT WALK" at the Reston Town Center in Reston, VA for research and family support. For the past two years, Team Shawn raised a lofty goal of $10,000. We are reaching for the sky this year again! Our goal is to raise another $10,000 for this event! Yes, folks---$10,000! We have many ways to reach this lofty goal. We will reach it and more!!! Along the way we hope to have lots of fun and make new friends as well!

Walk With Us!
Saturday, October 20, 2012. Reston Town Center
(11919 A Freedom Center, Reston, VA). Walk Distance: 2.8 miles. Festivities begin at 5 p.m., Walk begins at 7 p.m.

Fight Cancer & Be "Green"!


Earth Day is around the corner. Here is a great way to fight cancer and be "Green" at the same time--Keep saving those aluminum cans! Last fall, Team Shawn turned in 64lbs. of aluminum cans to the recyclers and put $32 towards The Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. So keep bringing your aluminum cans (& those new aluminum beer bottles also) to Gloria's if you're in the Leesburg, VA area. 827 Bellview Ct. in the Exeter neighborhood! Such a simple thing to do to wipe out cancer and excess waste!
