Lighting the Night: The hard work continues
By Administrator
Mike Mei, a University of Chicago graduate, captain of the Chicago Area Secular Student Alliance Light the Night team, and recent FBB intern, shares his thoughts about the Light the Night walk on his blog, Inspirational Freethought. His team walked in Grant Park in Chicago, IL, on October 20. They raised more than $1,200.
Thank you! Light the Night 2012 was excellent! I’ve never seen so many people walk along the lakefront, holding lighted balloons. I’ve never seen so many people excited after turning the corner to see “Light the Night” on one of Chicago’s skyscrapers.
It was inspirational. And beautiful. And totally worth doing again.
But the work isn’t over. Did you know you can still fundraise, and that your donations to any FBB team will still be matched dollar for dollar by the Stiefel Freethought Foundation until December 31? Check out our team page.
The work will never be over. Blood cancers–and other types of cancers too–continue to wreck havoc on human lives. Many Americans will find themselves frightened and alone. Many will be uninsured. The Leukemia and Lymphoma society provides patients with vital support services and financial assistance. And they’re one of the largest contributors to cancer research in the world.
