Recently, Lennox celebrated a milestone his family once wasn't sure they'd get to see: his first day of school!

Before his first birthday, Lennox was diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a rare blood cancer, after doctors discovered three tumors in his skull. His early years included treatment, hospital visits, and uncertainty.

As our 2026 National Light The Night Honored Hero, Lennox's story is a celebration of how far he's come and the hope that brings our Light The Night community together.

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, join us in bringing hope to more children and families affected by blood cancer. Find your local Light The Night and register today 👉 https://bcutd.org/4hEU6kW

"I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in 2021 after a routine physical shortly after my 50th birthday. It was a complete shock, and with no real cure. I was scared and unsure of what my future would look like.

Thanks to doctors and researchers, the treatment for CLL has changed a lot in the last 10 years. New medications have been used in clinical trials separately and in combination.

As my CLL progressed, I faced fatigue, night sweats, and swollen lymph nodes daily and had an appointment with my oncologist every three months to check my blood cell counts. I was in a year-long course of cancer treatment that is a combination of infusions and an oral medication. I have been in remission since spring.

Blood Cancer United is the largest nonprofit funder of leading-edge research for every type of blood cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and other rare types of blood cancer. I am thankful to Blood Cancer United for providing me with tools and information along my journey.

They have dietitians, nurses, and one-on-one support for patients. They also provide financial support, social workers, and support groups. Thanks to their resources, I have been able to meet others who understand and empathize with my situation and needs.

My dog and I first participated in the 25-mile Dog Walk Challenge and fundraised to support this amazing organization. I have since participated in Blood Cancer United's Light The Night (LTN) to help raise awareness and funds for blood cancer patients like myself. I am hopeful for the future and feel confident that there will continue to be more life-saving options in the years ahead!"

Blood Cancer Awareness Month and World CLL Day, we're working toward more. More breakthroughs. More treatment options. More support. More survivorship. For survivors like Tracey, "more" means more time to make memories, celebrate milestones, share laughter, and enjoy the people and moments that matter.

In September 2024, while having a surgery to remove fibroids, it was found that one of the fibroids was actually diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), or in short, cancer. In that moment, my life changed forever.”

Jill remembers that moment clearly. What followed was six rounds of chemotherapy before she got the call she had been hoping for. She was in remission.

Jill says learning to lean on people was harder for her than the treatment itself. Her sister rallied friends and family across the country to wear bracelets in her honor, and a year after the surgery that changed her life, they came together again at Light The Night.

Reflecting on that night, Jill shared, “The night of the walk was emotional, but I never felt so strong as I did that night, standing in the center holding up my white lantern and being able to explain what that meant to others walking with me.”

Today, Jill hopes her story reminds others facing blood cancer that they don't have to go through it alone. ❤️🤍💛 Join us at Light The Night and be part of a community that shows up for everyone affected by blood cancer. Find your local event here 👉 https://bcutd.org/4qq140Z
