Light ’em up.
Light the Night, the Leukaemia Foundation’s annual fundraising lantern walk, will take place on Friday October 7. The wonderful iniative is designed to raise awareness of the prevalence of blood cancers, with the magnificent surroundings of Barangaroo hosting the event.
Last year 30,000 people attended walks around the country, with each person shining a special lantern as a form of support.With food stalls and onstage entertainment, it’s a great chance to support those in need and bond as a community.
Every day, 35 people are diagnosed with blood cancers including leukaemia,lymphoma, myeloma or a related blood disorder. This is where the Leukaemia Foundation comes in, and with your support on the night, we can work to improve the quality of life and survival rates amongst those living with these afflictions.
By carrying a lantern and contributing to the fundraising walk, you are directly supporting vital blood cancer research and giving affected families the emotional support they need to beat blood cancer.
So pop down after work on Friday October 7 to help Light the Night for those in need, and help the Leukaemia Foundation raise the $2 million they need to continue the fight against blood cancer.
The Light The Night lantern walk will take place from Barangaroo Reserve on Friday October 7. You can also donate directly to the Leukaemia Foundation by visiting The Leukaemia Foundation
