On Wednesday, I met two of the people to keep in mind when you join us for the Light The Night Walk on September 25th in Delaware Park to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. They came to the Channel 4 production studio to record a public service announcement about the Walk.

Julia Bermingham

Julia Bermingham turns six next week and just got an early birthday present by completing her chemotherapy treatments.  The blue-eyed beauty was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in May, 2007, but was able to enter kindergarten and now looks forward to her first-grade classes.  Dan and Kristin Bermingham of East Aurora, who also have a four year old daughter, Kaitlin, say they have been guided with compassion through their ordeal by representatives of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  They are grateful for the support.

Liz Harrer of Lockport, a mother of four, is also grateful for all the support she has received from the Society since being diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia in 1997.  She’s so grateful that over the past decade she has become one of the Society’s most active volunteers. She calls the staff ‘amazing’ and says she doesn’t know what she would do without them.
