What is Light The Night?

Light the Night is the Leukaemia Foundation’s beautiful evening lantern walk, where Australians come together and transform the darkness into a sea of glowing light to give hope to all those impacted by blood cancer.

It’s your night to walk beside those facing their own blood cancer journey, and to remember loved ones lost.

As part of Light the Night, you can also help raise vital funds to support families living with all blood cancers and towards investment into life-changing research in fields which benefit all blood cancer patients.

This October 2019, more than 35,000 people will gather to walk at Light the Night events across the country. Carrying lanterns in symbolic colours of blue, white and gold, we will come together in an evening of reflective walk to support all Australians impacted by blood cancer.

When you register for Light the Night, you receive your special lantern to carry as darkness falls.

Lanterns are raised high in a moving ceremony to pay tribute to those facing their own blood cancer journey and to remember loved ones lost, creating a glowing sea of support. Together, the crowd then carries their lanterns along a reflective walk to Light the Night.

It’s an empowering, beautiful and supportive event that brings family and friends together to reflect, remember and show their support.
