Parker is riding for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk, which is the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of people battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds lifesaving research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and treatments for other types of cancer, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants. These treatments have helped patients live better, longer lives.
You can make a donation by visiting Neil's fundraising page at http://pages.lightthenight.org/ga/Atlanta09/nparker. One suggested idea for donating is on a per mile basis. For example 3 cents a mile is $92.55 or 5 cents a mile is $154.25 based on 3,085 miles. If you would like to contact Neil during this ride he will be checking his email periodically at neil@bugbustersusa.com.
