2012 Honored Heroes

We all have reasons why we 'Light The Night'. This year, we celebrate our 2012 Honored Heros. These are survivors who inspire us all to raise those funds to invest in research, help local support groups, grant patient aid to families in these difficult economic times, and much more that LLS does for our patients and families. If you do not know someone with blood cancer, our Light The Night Honored Heroes are here to inspire you!

Those individuals who are our Honorary Gold Balloon heroes are individuals who have lost their fight to cancer. Even though they are no longer with us, they continue to inspire us and are with us at Light The Night. The Gold Balloon is a symbol of their memory and their individual fight against cancer.

Remembrance Ceremony - Honor Your Loved Ones
At Light The Night, be sure to take place in our Remembrance Ceremony in memory of those who have lost loved ones. Hosted by one of our National Partners, VITAS Innovative Hospice Care. You will receive correspondence as the walk gets closer on details of the ceremony. To register your loved one's name, please fill out the form by clicking here.
