Light the Night

September is National Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Month. Every year the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society sponsors a fundraiser called "Light the Night". Over 200 communities nationwide walk to raise awareness, raise money, and support victims and families of blood related cancers. Last Saturday our little family walked in Salt Lake City's walk at Sugar House Park in honor of my mom. It was a lot of fun and so touching to connect with other people whose lives have been affected by this horrible disease. Every participant was given an illuminated balloon: red for supporters, white for patients and survivors, and gold in memory of loved ones who fought to the end. I hope to make this a family tradition every September!

Thank you so much to all our dear friends and family who donated to the society. Our team raised $175.
