Light the Night Kickoff Brunch

This morning was the kickoff brunch for the Light the Night (LTN) Walk. Meredith drove Nicole and me to the hotel ballroom in Morristown, NJ (about 45 minutes away). The Light the Night Walk will be on Saturday, September 27th ... I posted pics from last year's walk on my Garage Sale post. The LTN walk is the event that inspired the garage sale fundraiser.

Here are Nicole and Meredith at the brunch ... Nicole lost her father-in-law to Multiple Myeloma (a blood cancer) and Meredith lost her mother to AML (the most extreme type of Leukemia). Since I'm currently watching my mother-in-law battle two forms of Leukemia (CLL and MDS), the 3 of us have a strong bond when it comes to raising awareness for blood cancers.
The LTN staff put together a very nice brunch with wonderful food and inspirational speakers. Thanks to everyone who went to my donation page and made a contribution for the cause. And thank you to everyone who participated in our garage sale. For those of you still interested in supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, you can go to my donation page, or you can attend our second fundraiser ... I don't know if this link will work, but here's the link to the evite. Get a babysitter and join us for a night out in Hoboken! It's Friday night, September 12th at the Quays from 8 'til midnight. It will be Meredith's birthday, so it should be a fun night out! Please sign up and feel free to forward the evite to anyone who might be interested ~ THANKS!
