Welcome to The Lymphomaniacs Team Page for the Light the Night Walk in Charlotte, North Carolina! The Greater Charlotte Area Oncology Nursing Society is proud to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in their annual Light the Night Walk at the Wachovia Atrium. Our team includes members from hospitals and outpatient cancer care settings from the entire Charlotte metro area, as well as members from other healthcare fields that share our vision in helping to find a cure for blood cancers. The Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's nationwide walk to raise awareness and funds to cure leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. We're participating in the walk in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancer. These people are the real heroes, and we need your support to help accelerate cures and give hope to patients and their families. Although research is responsible for increasing survival rates for these diseases, the battle is far from over. Did you know that: - Every five minutes, someone in this country is diagnosed with blood cancer: Every ten minutes, someone loses the fight.
- Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children.
- Lymphomas are the most common blood cancers.
- The myeloma survival rate is only 32 percent.
