During September and October, more than 21,000 people in 20 capital cities and regional centres carried balloons containing tiny lights to remember, celebrate and give hope.

Light the Night raised over $1.3 million for patients and families affected by leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders, so thank you to everyone who took part and helped to raise funds for this important cause.
