AUSTRALIANS from every corner of the country are invited to join legendary sports broadcaster, Bruce McAvaney, as he hosts the Leukaemia Foundation’s annual Light the Night virtual lantern lighting ceremony on Friday, September 30, as the sun sets on Blood Cancer Month (September).
Personally diagnosed with blood cancer in 2014, Bruce will lead fellow Australians in lighting up the night skies from their backyards, loungerooms and hospital wards to shine a light on one of Australia’s deadliest cancers and show support for the 135,000 Australians currently living with the disease.
To gather your loved ones and connect with the Australian blood cancer community in this evening of hope, all you’ll need is a screen and an internet connection to take part.
Registrations are now open. Visit lightthenight.org.au for more information and to sign up.
Chris Tanti, Leukaemia Foundation chief executive officer
