May 7, 2009. - Inspired Alliances welcomed Trinity Hammond, from Light the Night and Special Guest Steve Holder to the May's Making Connections event held at The Local Company in Toronto.
The event showcased Light the Night Walk, an Annual Event held in communities all across the United States and Canada for families, friends, neighbors and teams from local businesses and national companies to bring help and hope to people battling blood cancers.
As the special guest and speaker, Steve Holder talked about his experience with being diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) in the spring of 2008, his road to remission, and Light the Night Walk and Leukemia & Lymphoma's Society of Canada's contribution to his recovery and being cancer free.
Join Steve, and thousands of others who have been affected by blood cancers on October 8, 2009 for the Light the Night Walk. Become a sponsor, volunteer your time, or donate.
Funds raised by walkers provide:
* Lifesaving blood cancer research
* Free educational materials and events for patients and their families
* Local programs such as Family Support Groups and First Connection, a peer-to-peer counseling program
* Comprehensive, personalized assistance through our Information Resource Center
Light The Night Walk events are evenings filled with inspiration. Carrying illuminated balloons - white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancer - thousands of walkers - men, women and children - form a community of caring, bringing light to the dark world of cancer.
