?Every four minutes, a patient is diagnosed with blood cancer, and this disease affects more than 13,200 people in Eastern Pennsylvania alone.
To find the cure by funding research and support services for blood cancer patients, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is aiming to raise $837,000 at the 2012 Philadelphia Light the Night? Walk.? More than 5,000 families, cancer survivors and corporate team members will kick off the event at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 27 at Eakins Oval on the Ben Franklin Parkway. To volunteer or register for the Walk, visit www.lightthenight.org/epa.
As the leading corporate sponsor, FMC is donating $25,000 and organizing the largest team of nearly 200 employees for Philadelphia?s Light the Night? Walk. Dozens of FMC employees also assembled more than 2,000 battery packs ?used to illuminate the signature red, white, and gold balloons at the Light the Night? Walk as part of their United Way Day of Caring.
?The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society still needs more help for the Walk, and we can?t do it alone,? said FMC Corporation President, CEO, and Chairman Pierre Brondeau. ?Everyone in the region can still sign up to walk.? And we encourage other companies ? large and small ? to do what you can:? make a donation, create a team of employees like FMC has, and help spread the word.?
