Light The Night

A few days ago I learned of a nation wide event, sponsored by the Luekemia and Lymphoma Society, to help raise money for curing blood cancers.

Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s nationwide evening Walk to build awareness of blood cancers and raise funds for cures.

Walkers carry illuminated balloons-white for survivors and red for supporters-to celebrate and commemorate lives touched by cancer. 

Funds raised by participants support the Society’s mission: cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. 

Anyone can take part-children, adults and seniors are all welcome.  This is a casual Walk with no fitness requirements. 

My friend, Colleen, and I have decided to form a team and walk in the event being held in our area on September 23rd. Colleen and her family will walk to represent her brother, Hal, and I will represent Kerrie of course!!

Walks are being held, nationwide, up until October. People who are interested in participating can join an existing team, walk as an individual or form their own team.

If you would like more information about the event, or would like to participate in the event in your area, please visit www.lighthenight.org

If you are in the Cleveland, Ohio area and would like to join our team please feel free to contact me!
