On Thursday, September 27, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society will hold its 5th annual Light the Night Walk in Mason to raise money for research and to provide support for those living with blood cancer.
Light the Night events are evenings filled with hope and inspiration. During the leisurely two-mile walk, participants carry illuminated balloons: white balloons for cancer survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones who lost their battle with cancer. The thousands of walkers create a caring community that brings light to the often-dark world of cancer.
?The Light the Night Walk in Mason has grown to host approximately 2,000 people. In the years we have held the walk in Mason, LLS has been connected with many families and patients in the area,? said Light the Night Campaign Manager Tiffany Hoover. ?It?s an extremely special evening for families that have been affected by a blood cancer. It helps patients to feel less alone when they see all of the other white balloons floating in the air.?
The Mason walk takes place rain or shine and dogs, strollers and wheelchairs are welcome. Bikes are not allowed. Pre-walk festivities include food, refreshments, entertainment and a kids? area. Registration begins at 5:30 p.m. and the walk at 7 p.m. There will be a Remembrance Ceremony at 6:45 p.m. for those walking in memory of someone.
