    Light the Night for children with cancer #LLSLTN #SylvanFightsCancer

    Cancer has affected my life. My step dad Lee lost his short battle with brain cancer 2 years ago. I have friends battling different types of cancer and other friends with children who are fighting against leukemia. They all have so much to take on and deal with and they all can use our help and support.

    Light the Night Walks

    This fall, let’s walk to the end of cancer by joining The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s 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, including maintaining friendships to keeping up with schoolwork.

    Light the Night walk for children with cancer
    Here’s how we can do it:
    This year, Sylvan Learning is partnering with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society 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 into academics.

    Light the Night

    You can help them to achieve these goals:
    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.

    Find a walk in your area, and join a Sylvan Learning walk team in supporting this great cause. Let’s all walk to the end of cancer
