Gary is
Blood Cancer United

Gary Streit was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in April. He began chemo therapy right away at Roswell Park. After six rounds of chemotherapy, a great support team of Roswell Doctors and Nurses, and his family and friends, Gary beat cancer.

He continues to fight the affects from chemo but is getting stronger each and every day.

Organizing “Team Gary” for the Light The Night Walk was a small way to say thank you and support future research for this horrible disease.

Gary thanks everyone for their prayers and support. Together we can beat this!

A person stands on a quiet, snow‑covered woodland path, wearing a dark zip‑up jacket lightly dusted with snowflakes. Bare winter trees surround the trail, creating a still, muted landscape. The cold air and gently falling snow evoke a sense of resilience and reflection—an atmosphere that mirrors the strength often required in a journey with blood cancer.
