My niece, Alicia Fox, is heading up a team that is looking to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada again this year during their Light the Night event in Calgary on the evening of September 26.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk is the North America's night to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer. Walks take place in communities throughout Canada, typically in the fall. On these special nights, thousands of participants carry illuminated balloons and raise funds for vital, lifesaving research and patient services. Funds raised through Light The Night Walk support the search for better therapies and cures for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
I am deeply touched that the team is doing it in my honour again this year and have named themselves after my favourite YouTube cartoon “Llamas with Hats” (I know… it’s weird). They have a goal of raising $2000 this year. Can I encourage you to support this worthy cause, as Team Llamas with Hats seeks to “lend a hand (or two)” for those with cancer? Please click here for more info and thanks!

Thanks for this post, Uncle Glenn. The whole purpose is to encourage particularly you, but also your family. Well, I suppose that's perhaps the initiative. The goal is really to raise funds so, eventually, no one has to struggle through cancer again...
It really is an encouragement to us, Alicia! And any way we can help be a blessing in return, we want to.
The team has a website with all the exciting details for the fundraiser we're holding on September 19. It's at www.fightbloodcancer.ca.
