Light the Night for Leukaemia

A beautiful sight!
 
Light the night 2010 in Newcastle was a great night despite the heavens opening up!  Our team Light the Night Angels, raise over $2,400 that will go to the Leukaemia Foundation's vital programs.

and to those who gave to our other team member Phyllis Cox in memory of her daughter Rhonda who passed away from Leukaemia.
 
We are excited that we did so well, it isn't always easy to get people to part with their money even for a good cause, so I hope everyone realises just how great they are!
 
Where your money goes
 
The foundation has made the following commitments to provide funds raised to investing $4,000,000 to support the work of Australia's best researchers to develop better treatments and find cures.
Supporting 9,000 patients, their carers and families.
Provide regional patients with housing during treatment.
Transport more than 4,400 patients to and from treatment.
Providing access to online support and information for 15,000 people.
 
 

 
We have decided that we will support Light the Night for 2011 also and we have some pretty great plans to raise even more money so look out for our announcements in March next year.
