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.

Team Shawn--Light The Night Walk























Team Shawn joined many, many other teams and individuals to fight blood cancers in the 2010 Leukemia/Lymphoma Society's 5th Annual Light The Night Walk in Reston, VA on October 2, 2010. It was a great evening for a walk to help those with cancer, family of cancer patients, and to remember those who have lost the fight to cancer. Everyone had a great time walking and after is was all done--Pizza! Team Shawn did an awesome job fund raising for the cause. The team has many events for the up coming fund raising year.

Great LPCP Parents Night Out & First Donut Sale!

From Gloria: PNO was great! Thank you all so much for making this such a successful event and for donating the proceeds to the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. We sold 20 boxes (April 30th delivery) of donuts, and the donations from PNO totaled $390. Thanks you all for your support in my many efforts to make a difference in blood cancer research and patient services. My personal goal is to raise $5000 for the foundation, and I have currently raised approx. $2000.00. Every penny helps! Peace & Blessings. Gloria
