What is Light The Night Walk?
Celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year, Light The Night Walk is an annual walk event that raises funds for blood cancer cures. The Walk is casual and doesn’t require you to be in shape, so anyone is welcome to join. There are also incentives for different fundraising levels. Learn more about how you can participate in a walk near you.
