Light the Night is a campaign to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation and to raise awareness of leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders.
Across Australia teams of friends, families and work colleagues will light balloons to remember, celebrate and give hope to patients and families affected by these blood cancers and disorders.
The balloons have a tiny light inside and each has a special meaning:
Enjoy the entertainment, food stalls and hear inspirational stories leading up to the moment when we Light the Night by lifting our balloons high into the air, followed by a gentle scenic walk together.
At most Light the Night events we have ambassadors who tell their story about how they've been touched by blood cancers. Many have lost someone, many share the story of their diagnosis and treatment and celebrate they are surviving.
We ask you to sign up, and ask friends, family and work colleagues to join you on this special night.
To give hope we also set a fundraising goal for Light the Night. We ask as many supporters as possible to collect donations beforehand. This year Light the Night aims to raise over $2million to improve the quality of life for patients and their families here and now and give hope for a brighter future by funding the work of Australia's best researchers.
Choose your nearest celebration and sign up as captain of your team. You will receive a welcome kit with maps, event details and all the materials you need if you want to raise funds.
