Walkers carrying lanterns transformed Lillydale Lake into a sea of glowing light in a bid to beat blood cancer.
Wandin Rotary Club’s Brian Hodgson organised the Thursday 27 September Light the Night event to support the Leukaemia Foundation.
Walkers carred a gold balloon to remember a loved one, white to reflect on their own blood cancer journey, or blue to support others.
“I began my walk for Leukaemia to support a relative,” Mr Hodgson said.
“Over many years we have shared many Light the Night walks together and enjoyed the company of others each with their own journeys.
“One outcome of the night is that we raise money to change lives.”
The Leukaemia Foundation will use funds raised through Light the Night for medical research into leukaemia, myeloma, lymphoma and other blood disorders, and support services.
