The 1st Light the Night happened on October 16th at City Hall. The turn out was huge, they say about 1500 - I believe it! Team Lymphomanaics was on the scene. We met up for coffee & cupcakes just after dinner, and got busy doing our hair!
The event started at twilight with registration and some drawn out speeches "we can't hear you!" and then collecting our balloons. Walkers carry illuminated balloons with lights in them - white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones.
At dusk we started out our 5km walk beside the canal. It was a little bit chilly, and a little too long for someone like myself in recovery but we had fun with our balloons, glow sticks and group antics!
