The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will hold its first local “Light The Night” walk to raise funds for blood cancer research and patient services on Saturday, Oct. 24, 6-9 p.m., at Merrick Park, across from City Hall, 405 Biltmore Way, Coral Gables. To sign up for the walk or register a team, contact the Southern Florida Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at 1-954-744-5311 or visit online at <www.lightthenight.org>. Hundreds of walkers of all ages are expected to attend the 1.75-mile evening walk where Coral Gables Mayor Don Slesnick will speak and kickoff the event. Participants will carry illuminated balloons — white for survivors, red for supporters — to honor and commemorate lives touched by blood cancers. The “Light The Night” walk’s title sponsor is the Harry T. Mangurian Jr. Foundation and the presenting sponsor is Citrix Systems. The national spokesperson for the “Light The Night” walk is actress/comedian Tina Fey. Other “Light The Night” walks are taking place in Florida in
October and November in Miramar, Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers/Naples. Each year, the “Light The Night” walk raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for people fighting blood cancers. Participants can get involved by forming a “Light The Night” team, becoming a corporate sponsor, or selling illuminated balloons in support of the walks. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, headquartered in White Plains, NY, with 68 chapters in the United States and Canada, is the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services. The LLS mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1949, LLS has invested more than $550 million in research specifically targeting leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Last year alone, LLS made 5.1 million contacts with patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals. For more information, visit online at <www.lls.org>.
