Light the Night

Last night was Light the Night put on by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It is a great event that has been going on for 9 years. This year was our fourth year and it was a lot of fun. They had a petting zoo, face painting, bone marrow matching, balloon animals and more.
Kennedy not being so gentle with the bunny
Owen not sure what he thinks
Herman Miller Team - Jeremiah's mom has been the HM team leader for 4 years. This year they raised $5,000!! Way to go Sue!
Our friends the Leeuws also raised money and joined us in the walk!! Sorry I don't have any pictures of you but it meant a lot to us because not only did you come but you also worked hard in raising money for this great cause.
The walk was beautiful right on the river
This year the walk raised over $125,000!! Roughly 90% of that stays right here in West Michigan!! Thank you to all of you who donated! Maybe this year with all of the generous gifts they will be able to find a cure!

We enjoyed being a part of this. Maybe we will join you every year and make it our family tradition as well!
