The 2014 Light the Night Walk will start at 5:00 p.m at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. The non-competitive 2 mile walk route along the Portland Waterfront will feature live entertainment, free-family friendly games, local sponsors and vendors and Portland’s second-largest fireworks display, which occurs mid-way though the course over the Willamette river.
Light The Night Walk is a fundraising campaign of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) which brings together families and communities to honor blood cancer survivors, as well as those lost to the diseases, and shine a light on the importance of finding cures and providing access to treatments for blood cancer patients.
Friends, families and co-workers form fundraising teams, and millions of consumers help by donating at retail outlets. These efforts culminate in inspirational, memorable evening walks in nearly two hundred communities each fall across North America.
The funds raised by Light The Night participants will help advance more breakthrough therapies for blood cancer patients like targeted therapies that zero in on cancer cells and kill them. And immunotherapies that use a patients’ own immune system to kill cancer.
