Light the Night with Suzy!
Monday, October 05, 2009
Join Suzy at Light the Night next wkd in Memorial Park in Nyack. Saturday October 17th - registration starts at 5pm. We'll be giving out light bracelets and temporary tattoos for all kids!
Each year, in communities all across the United States and Canada, families, friends, neighbors and teams from local businesses and national companies come together for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS's) Light The Night Walk events to bring help and hope to people battling blood cancers.
Funds raised by walkers provide:
Lifesaving blood cancer research
Financial assistance to cover patient expenses for transportation, medication and testing
Free educational materials and events for patients and their families
Local programs such as Family Support Groups and First Connection, a peer-to-peer counseling program
Comprehensive, personalized assistance through our Information Resource Center
Light The Night Walk events are evenings filled with inspiration. Carrying illuminated balloons - white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancer - thousands of walkers - men, women and children - form a community of caring, bringing light to the dark world of cancer.
Whether you're a cancer survivor, supporting someone who is battling cancer or have lost a loved one, please join us and help Light The Night.
Actual distances vary by route and city, so please contact your local LLS chapter or office for the exact distance. A leisurely pace is the norm for this event, which takes less than an hour to complete.
While walking on your own is great, it's even more fun to walk as part of a team of friends, family members or co-workers. We recommend that a team consist of 10 or more people, with each individual walker raising a minimum of $100. The more walkers on a team, the more fun it is!
Register here today! There is still time left.
