Join thousands of people at Light the Night, the Leukaemia Foundation’s inspiring night to remember, celebrate and give hope to patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders.
Light a balloon to remember, celebrate and give hope to leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma patients and their families at Floriade, Commonwealth Park on 18th September from 5.30pm – 8.30pm: Gold to REMEMBER a loved one, White to CELEBRATE being a survivor, Blue to GIVE HOPE and show support.
It will be beautiful as local Ambassadors tell their stories and lead a gentle evening walk to Light the Night
“This free event is about giving those impacted by blood cancers an opportunity to remember, celebrate and give hope. It will truly be spectacular to see thousands of illuminated gold, white and blue balloons against the night sky,” said Stuart Allen General Manager of the Leukaemia Foundation in NSW/ACT.
Please register to walk to ensure that you receive a balloon on the night.
“This year, it is projected that 50 people in NSW/ACT will be diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma each week and blood cancer will be the second biggest cancer killer in Australia after lung cancer[1].”
