Hundreds will hold a lantern this spring to share their unwavering hope to cure blood cancer at Light the Night, an uplifting event taking place at Newcastle Foreshore Park, Wednesday 17 September, from 5:30pm.

Lanterns of hope will shine during the twilight walk to help the Leukaemia Foundation raise $1.25 million to invest in blood cancer research. Each colour lantern has a meaning; gold for remembrance, white for someone fighting blood cancer and blue to show support.
