Last Saturday was the Light the Night walk and I had a good time. The evening was really nice and there were so many people in such a small area and all kinds of events. cmplxty7 and her son came with me and we spent most of the time roaming the fringes until the walk started and we each lost our ballons right before the start! So much for lighting the night. But it was a really great experience to see all these people coming out in support of friends and loved ones that have had blood cancers. And I had to smile every time I saw someone with a white balloon, because they were a survivor like me.

I do have a little give away! I assigned numbers to the list of donators and a random number picker chose thndrstd! I've emailed him and we've figured out some custom knitting I'll be doing for him.

I want to thank every single person who donated. I think I'll be doing this again next year and maybe have it pulled together a bit more.

I just got around to this and it is coming up in a little over a week, but I've been meaning to do this for years.

I'm going to walk in Light the Night 2008. It is a fund raising event for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, who fund research for blood cancers and patient support. Since leukemia and lymphoma have been way too present in my life, this is one cause I can support.

If you're able or inclined to donate, I've got a donation page where you can give directly. Every little bit counts. Thank you!
