Your support means a lot...to us and to thousands of others.

The Light the Night Walk is the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's nationwide evening walk to raise awareness of blood cancers and funds for cures. The walk is an inspirational and moving event joining survivors, their families, and supporters on a 2-3 mile walk while carrying lit balloons. Funds raised support the Society's mission: cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

We are participating in the walk taking place in Wichita on September 20th, 2008. This year the walk is changing locations from Bradley Fair to Exploration Place. The twinkling balloons are sure to be a beautiful sight as they reflect in the water as we walk along the river. Once again, we are walking in memory of our Sister and Aunt, Chris Livingston. This is our FIFTH year for Light the Night and we carry our special gold balloon in memory of Chris. We are part of a team called Friends of Heroes. Friends of Heroes (formerly Friends of Allie/Allie's Angels) is the largest national Friends and Family Light The Night team in LLS history. The team was originally created to honor Allie Scott. Allie was the same age as Gavi and a member of Jenny and Gavi's birth board on Babycenter.com. Allie passed away on September 13, 2004 just days before the Wichita walk after a long battle with AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia). You can read more about the inspiration for Friends of Heroes here.
