Last night was the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Event. It was a beautiful evening as we walked with other families affected by these blood cancers. The walk was held in a park where we walked on a paved trail with balloons that were lit from the inside. The hundreds of lit balloons making there way together in the dark was an amazing sight.

We're ready to light the night!
Boppa pulled Ellie in a wagon during the walk.
It was way after bedtime and she has a cold!
Audrey stayed awake for the entire evening and loved looking at all the lights around us!
Thank you to everyone who supported TEAM LORI in this endeavor. Our team raised a total of $875, which we will be used by the LLS to fund research to treat, cure, and prevent these diseases. As Lori said last night, we hope to do this annual walk for the next 30 years!
