Norfolk, Virginia Beach fundraisers raise thousands to support leukemia and lymphoma research

Good News Notes:

“Lynne Streeper and Tim Quick, Virginia Beach residents, celebrate two birthdays each year, Streeper in January and February and Quick has both in July, just six days apart.”

“In addition to the day they were born, Streeper and Quick celebrate the day they received donor cells as part of their successful stem cell transplants for the treatment of lymphoma, a cancer affecting the immune system…both are currently in remission after their stem cell transplants.”

“The Light the Night walk is held in 160 cities across the country, including Norfolk on Oct. 26. Participants walk holding lanterns of different colors to show support or honor those affected by cancer.”

“Wings over Leukemia and Lymphoma, founded by Quick, is now in its third year.”
