We’re proud to support the blood cancer community through Light The Night.
Blood cancers are the fifth most common form of cancer in Canada, affecting more than 155,000 Canadians—our family members, our friends and neighbours, our colleagues, ourselves. But together, we can shine a light toward a future without blood cancers.
Please consider making a donation today. Thank you for your support!
Here we are year four as part of the blood cancer community and participating in Light the Night (LTN) with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC). Although we have unfortunately been part of this community for some time now, this new way of life does not get easier. It feels as though it is becoming increasingly harder to put pen to paper (or fingers to keys) and update the supporters of Team Xav. Blood cancers and the need for support, research, and hope does not end with the transplant process; more support, research, and hope are needed in the years after to help those affected deal with life altering side effects.
Xav continues to push through, but after four long years, it becomes difficult to continue to talk about hope, but hope continues to fuel our passion for supporting the LLSC. For our family, and the thousands of others like ours, the LTN gives us hope that new treatments continue to be developed. We continue to hope that new treatments continue to extend life, but also improve quality of life; hope towards a future where we continue to celebrate and value every day.
I speak on behalf of mothers and families when I say thank you for your monetary donations, blood donations, prayers, and every share on social media. Every conversation we have, and every donation brings us one step closer to improving the lives of those living with a blood cancer, honouring those we have lost, and extending the lives of those who have been affected by this horrible disease. Thank you again for walking this journey with Team Xav. We cannot thank you enough for your support.
Your support means more than you will ever know,
Ginetta and Team Xav
