Earlier this year, my mom's cousin, Charles Fina, passed away due to Acute Myelogenous Leukemia in May. Even before his passing, Charles was able to attend an event called "Light The Night" to support finding a cure for his illness. Perhaps you've seen commercials on TV or advertisements on the train or bus for it, because I know I have. Tina Fey is a spokesperson for the event that occurs in several places all over the states. Maybe you're curious what's going to happen. "Light The Night" is a few mile walk through a park depending on where you're located. While you're walking, you carry a balloon. Each balloon has a little light attached to it on the inside giving the balloon a special glow, hence the name Light the Night. The three colors of balloons are gold, to remember a lost loved one, white, to celebrate your survival of Leukemia/Lymphoma, and blue, to give hope and show support. Come on kids! Support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!!
