Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Light The Night Walk 2019
Sat Nov 2, 6:00 PM - Sat Nov 2, 9:30 PM

More than 5,000 cancer survivors, as well as family and corporate teams who have been touched by cancer to walk at Bayfront Park in support of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to fighting blood cancer.

Together they join a massive cancer community of approximately 1 million people at 150 inspirational evening walks across the U.S. and Canada to end cancer. Gino Gomez, the evening’s Hero and cancer survivor, and physician Dr. Guenther Koehne, Deputy Director and chief of Hematologic Oncology and Blood & Marrow Transplantation at Miami Cancer Institute, and Chairman of the 2019 Light the Night Campaign, to speak.

Light the Night, is a nationwide annual fundraising event - an emotional and uplifting evening that aims to shine light on one of life’s darkest moments. Survivors celebrate by carrying white lanterns and taking part in an inspiring survivor ceremony within the survivor circle as a white beam of hope reaches up to the sky, illuminating the darkness. A Remembrance Pavilion honors those who have passed and allows a quiet place where family, friends and co-workers can leave tributes to their loved ones. Red lanterns are displayed for supporters, while gold lanterns represent those in memory.
