Light the Night Walk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, red for supporters and gold for those walking in memory-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. Children, adults and seniors all take part in the annual Walk.
The walk is also hosted in 8 Canadian cities; Montreal PQ., Toronto ON., Edmonton AB., Calgary AB., Surrey BC., Vancouver BC. & Victoria BC. In 2008, Light The Night Canada is projected to raise $2 million dollars. The campaigns are coordinated by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
