Light The Night


A string of lights circled the front of Harrison High School Friday night. More luminaries could be found in the end zones of the football field. Each bag had the name of someone whose life has been affected by cancer (patients, survivors, family members, friends, etc) The 'Light The Night' was a fundraiser sponsored by the Harrison Student Council. Money raised will help a family with a 5-year old daughter with cancer.
Cancer affects so many people. I have a friend and co-worker who were treated for skin cancer. I know several women who've had breast cancer and men who were treated for prostate cancer. As many of you know, my mother is suffering from pancreatic cancer. Thank you to my friend Mary Jane who donated money to have my mom's name on several luminaries.
