Light the night - Leukemia Foundation

Every day, five Queenslanders are diagnosed with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood cancers and disorders.

At sunset on Wednesday, 5 October, thousands of people will participate in the Leukaemia Foundation’s Light the Night walk at 12 locations across Queensland in support of those who have been touched by leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood cancers and disorders.
Light the Night walks will be held in Brisbane, Bundaberg, Caboolture, Cairns, Gold Coast, Hervey Bay, Mackay, Port Douglas, Rockhampton, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and Townsville.
You can help create a sea of lights by lighting your own lantern to carry on the leisurely walk.

Each coloured lantern contains a tiny light and has a special meaning:

• White for blood cancer patients and survivors
• Blue for supporters
• Gold for those remembering a loved one lost

Before the Light the Night walk, be inspired by personal stories and reflect on the impact blood cancers have on patients, their loved ones, and the wider community.
The Leukaemia Foundation of Queensland provides emotional support, accommodation, transportation and practical assistance, all free of charge, for patients and their families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders.
