Every year The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society holds their annual Light the Night event which is a walk to celebrate, honor and remember those touched by cancer. Ba...ck in June, one of our family members was diagnosed with B Cell ALL at only 5 years old. Kathleen (Leena) is one of the strongest little girls I know. She has the most contagious smile and pushes through every one of her treatments like a true ROCKSTAR. With the unusual circumstances in 2020, the event this year, which was scheduled for Saturday, October 24th had to be virtual. Our family knew that we had to do something to show Leena our support and make it known that she is NOT fighting this horrible battle alone. Thank you to Jane Falzone for organizing a motorcade event which was held for Lenna yesterday in the Town of Tonawanda. Without the help and support from the Town of Tonawanda Police Department and Brighton Volunteer Fire Co #5 we would not have had such a successful event. Thank you to everyone who has supported our team from near and far. If you were not able to attend our event, please see the video that Morgan Falzone created below. Together we are taking the steps to end cancer. WE LIGHT THE NIGHT. #leenastrong See more
