NATIONAL RANDOM ACTS OF LIGHT DAY
Sometimes it takes one gentle word or small token to help hold back the darkness. On June 13, National Random Act of Light Day encourages us to bring light into the lives of someone we know with cancer by surprising them with an act of kindness.
Receiving the news that the diagnosis is cancer is one of the darkest moments a person can have. As part of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Walks fundraising campaign, National Random Acts of Light takes part in the fundraising by shining a light on the importance of finding cures and providing access to treatments for blood cancer patients.
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ~ Edith Wharton
Take a friend fishing or bring them their favorite cup of coffee. Sometimes a visit, a walk or a fresh bouquet of flowers is what brings the light into the room. Usually, the surprise will create all the sparkle you were expecting and more.
