Everyone with blood cancer deserves a longer, better life. At Light The Night we gather as a community to celebrate, honor, and remember those touched by blood cancers. Companies, community partners, families, and sponsors join to bring light to the darkness of cancer. The funds raised by this community fund life-saving blood cancer research around the world, provide free information and support services, and are the voice for those seeking access to quality, affordable, coordinated care for patients and their families – like Sofia.
At just three years old, Sofia went from an active toddler to too tired to play—until a blood test revealed she had leukemia. Her family was thrust into a world of hospital stays, isolation, and fear, but they found strength and support through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Light The Night. Today, Sofia is back in school and fighting strong—families like hers need your help to keep moving forward.
We are United to End Blood Cancer. By 2040, LLS will enable people with blood cancer to gain more than one million years of life. This means more birthdays, more graduations, more cherished moments and memories with family and friends. Join us at one of the 100+ events across the US and Canada, where we walk to celebrate, honor and remember those touched by cancer. We are bringing light to the darkness of cancer. WE LIGHT THE NIGHT.
