In honor of my mother-in-law, Mary Beth Severson, I am forming a team for Light The Night Walk and we hope you'll join us. Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's evening walk and fundraising event. It is the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of people battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost.
By joining our team and raising funds for this important cause, you'll be making a real impact on the fight against cancer. On Walk night, you'll join us with other teams and individuals from all over our community in the culmination of our efforts to find cures. Walk night is a family-oriented evening in which participants carry illuminated balloons, raise awareness of blood cancers and come together as a caring community.
Every walker who raises $100 or more* will be a Champion For Cures and will be recognized on Walk night with:
- A Light The Night t-shirt.
- An illuminated Light The Night balloon in red (supporters), white (survivors) or gold (in memory of a loved one)
- A wristband which entitles the wearer to an array of food and refreshments.
* Patients and survivors will receive these items regardless of fundraising levels.
This year's walk is September 18th, 2011 at the Lake County, Indiana Fairgrounds.
We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. Please join the team and "walk the talk." If you are not able to walk, please consider making a donation in Mary Beth's name! Click here to register!
