Western MD Light The Night Walk

Save to Favorites

Our largest community event at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is Light The Night. When you or someone you love hears the words "you have cancer", it’s one of the darkest moments in your life. At Light The Night (LTN), it is our aim to bring light to the darkness of cancer through research and cures. LTN is a series of fundraising campaigns benefiting LLS’ funding of research to find blood cancer cures. We bring hope instead of despair by working to ensure access to treatments for all blood cancer patients. We bring communities together to celebrate those who are fighting the disease and to honor those we have lost. We are taking steps to end cancer. WE LIGHT THE NIGHT.
