Light The Night
Leukaemia Foundation: Light The Night
What is Light The Night?
Today, another 35 people will be told they have blood cancer. Be the light in their darkest hour at this inspiring twilight event.
Now in its tenth year, Light the Night is a unique fundraising event bringing Australia’s blood cancer community together in more than 140 locations to remember and reflect during a moving ceremony and short lantern walk.
Last year, more than 35,000 people from every Australian state and territory attended a Light the Night, together raising a life-saving $2 million!
Those attending raise money beforehand to help give local families facing blood cancer the emotional and practical support that will light the way forward.
Light the Night fundraisers all receive a coloured lantern to carry as darkness falls and celebrate what they’ve achieved to help people with blood cancer.
Major events in most capital cities will all take place on Friday, the 6th of October, with more than 100 other community events taking place right across the country between September and November.
Light the Night is the Leukaemia Foundation’s annual fundraising event that helps light the way for people with blood cancer.
I am hosting a Light the Night event in Melton on Friday, the 6th of October, 2017 at Arthur Westlake Memorial Reserve where we will raise our lanterns in solidarity. Families can register for the event at https://lightthenight.org.au/event/Melton
I’ve pledged to help the Leukaemia Foundation provide every Australian with the support and services they need to beat their blood cancer. Today, 35 Australians will be diagnosed with blood cancer – and I want to help be the light in their darkest hour.
