Light the Night Walk

So I recently discovered this event when I was online the other day. It is called Light the Night Walk. It is put on by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Basically the event is a three mile walk at night. The people who sign up for the event and raise at least $100 are the ones who are allowed to participate in the walk. Each "walker" receives a balloon. What is unique about these balloons are that they light up. There are three different color balloons: white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancer.

I think that this is a really cool idea. There is one taking place in New Hampshire in September. (In Nashua on September 25th.) My mom and I are going to take part in it. We still have to register and create a team. If anyone is interested in joining our team, let me know. If we sign up soon we still have a few months to raise $100 per person. I am still finding out information about everything involved in this. So if you want to learn more about it, you can go to http://www.lightthenight.org/ma/what/

I am doing this in honor of my cousin Paige, who passed away, from Leukemia in 2007. Feel free to message/comment me if you are interested. Either on here or Facebook.
