Light The Night Walk 2018

LIGHT THE NIGHT LEXINGTON IS AN ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EVENT FOR THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY.

WHEN YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE HEARS THE WORDS “YOU HAVE CANCER”… IT’S ONE OF THE DARKEST MOMENTS IN YOUR LIFE. THE LIGHT AND WARMTH WE GENERATE DELIVERS HOPE IN TIME OF DESPAIR, COMMUNITY IN PLACE OF LONELINESS AND LIFE-SAVING RESEARCH & SUPPORT FOR CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE ARE TAKING STEPS TO END CANCER. WE LIGHT THE NIGHT. FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS GATHER TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE, HONOR OR REMEMBER THOSE TOUCHED BY CANCER. REGISTRATION IS FREE, BUT WALKERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO RAISE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE MISSION.

SURVIVORS CELEBRATE BY CARRYING WHITE LANTERNS AND TAKING PART IN AN INSPIRING SURVIVOR CEREMONY WITHIN THE SURVIVOR CIRCLE WHILE THE WHITE BEAM OF HOPE REACHES UP TO THE SKY, ILLUMINATING THE DARKNESS. SUPPORTERS PARTICIPATE IN THE WALK WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS, IN CELEBRATION OF SURVIVORS AND THE STRIDES WE ARE MAKING TO FIND CURES. THOSE WE HAVE LOST ARE HONORED AT THE REMEMBRANCE PAVILION WHERE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS CAN LEAVE TRIBUTES TO THEIR LOVED ONES.
