Honored Heroes

An Honored Hero is a dedicated individual, patient or survivor of blood cancer, who provides inspiration and support to Light The Night participants, volunteers and staff. Honored Heroes share their strength, courage and motivation with Light The Night walkers and provide encouragement. In return they are welcomed into a community of individuals fighting for a cure, providing hope to those affected by blood cancer.

For more information on becoming an Honored Hero, please contact Jessica Menken at Jessica.Menken@lls.org or toll free 800-347-1074
