Event Description:

What better way of spending an autumn day by the beach helping a great cause?

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is hosting a walk-a-thon called Light the Night Walk. Particpants have raised funds and will be walking 2 - 3 miles carrying lighted balloons/candles/lights... to light the night for a brighter future.

As a community let's help make the event a success for those who have tirelessly helped to raise funds in hopes of finding a cure.
