The resolution acknowledges the efforts of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, in its mission to cure blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. It recognizes leukemia as a cancer affecting white blood cells, with various types and unknown exact causes, and notes that LLS supports lifesaving research, provides free information and support services, and advocates for patient access to quality care.

The resolution specifically supports the LLS's "Light The Night® Walk" scheduled for September 22, 2024, in Providence, Rhode Island. This event is a significant fundraising initiative aimed at funding research, supporting patients and their families, and raising awareness about blood cancers. The Senate of the State of Rhode Island encourages residents to participate in the walk, which begins at the Rhode Island State House and features lanterns symbolizing hope against cancer. The resolution also instructs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to Laura Lanni, the Campaign Development Manager for the Providence Light The Night® Walk.
