<v Speaker 1>the Night and it's sneaking up towards the end of

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 1>this month. Thank you for being here. I appreciate you

<v Speaker 1>joining us.

11
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to

12
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 2>be here and talk about our event here in Sux Falls.

13
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>And the event is coming up later this month. So

14
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 1>what is the night of the event.

15
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:33.840
<v Speaker 2>It is so Light the Night this year in Sioux

16
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Falls is on Saturday, September twentieth. It is an evening event,

17
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 2>so gates will open or park will open about six

18
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>o'clock and then registration pick up your package about six

19
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>point thirty. We do a ceremony, a walk around the park,

20
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>very short little walk, and we finish with fireworks.

21
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Nice and this is happening like at Falls Park?

22
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Is that right? It is? Yes, Falls Park and beautiful

23
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>location in the evenings so the falls will be lit up.

24
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 2>A wonderful opportunity to come out and support blood cancer patients.

25
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>And the thing that's really nice about this, this is

26
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a great way for people to get together and you've

27
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>got I thought it was really neat the different colors

28
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 1>that represent different things when I had gone to one

29
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 1>of the meetings. So let's talk about the different colors

30
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>because there's people in different stages, and there's different people

31
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that are going to be involved, and I would hope

32
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 1>some of the people listening would like to get involved

33
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>as well. We'll chat with them about how they can

34
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.519
<v Speaker 1>do that. But let's talk about the different colors and

35
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>what they represent.

36
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, absolutely, so our walk is unique. We are the

37
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Leukemian Lymphoma Society now Blood Cancer United. We can talk

38
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>about that later if you like, but we are an

39
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>organization that supports patients and caregivers who are going through

40
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 2>a blood cancer diagnosis. So for the event, we have

41
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 2>three lanterns. They are very unique to our event, and

42
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>we have a white lantern. If you are a survivor,

43
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 2>and by survivor, I mean you are surviving from day

44
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 2>one of diagnosis, you are considered a survivor in our book,

45
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>So you get a white lantern. Red lanterns are for support,

46
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 2>so anybody who is a caregiver, a community member, anybody

47
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>who's there to show support for somebody going through a

48
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 2>blood cancer diagnosis. We also have a gold lantern. Gold

49
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>lanterns are to honor those we have lost a blood

50
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>cancer And like I said, it happens somewhat close to dark.

51
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>At the end of our event, we light those lanterns.

52
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>White lanterns will light first to show that they are

53
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>surviving and they are strong, and then we have our

54
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 2>gold and our red lighting and we use those lanterns

55
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 2>to walk the park. So it's just a beautiful display

56
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>of community and support and survivorship.

57
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's called Light the Night because you literally light

58
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 1>the night.

59
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and then we continue to light the night with

60
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 2>those fireworks. Don't forget that.

61
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. I'm excited for that part too. It's this whole

62
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 1>event and I was invited to come and be a

63
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>part of this, and I'm so excited that we get

64
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>to do that. It's a beautiful event. It's a really

65
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 1>nice thing. And we were talking earlier Leukemia and Lymphoma

66
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Society is what this has been known for for years,

67
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and now there's a name change, and I think that

68
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a really positive thing. Not that that was a

69
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>bad name, but a lot of the time people don't

70
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>even know what that means. So now it's Blood Cancer United.

71
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I know what blood means, I know what cancer means,

72
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I know what united means. I mean to me, I

73
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 1>think this is a really smart thing. And again, anytime

74
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you do a name change of anything, it can be

75
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>a bear to do that, but I think this is

76
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 1>going to pay off big time because now more people

77
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 1>will understand, oh, that's what you do.

78
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 2>So Rudoly, yes, so very intentional. We realize, well, number

79
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 2>one Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is quite a mouthful, Like

80
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I have to stop myself every time I say it.

81
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to spell. But it really didn't accurately represent

82
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>who we serve.

83
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>So are people that too.

84
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, there are over one hundred different types of blood cancer,

85
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>not just leukemia and lymphomas, and so this name really

86
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>just more accurately represents who we serve, every patient, every caregiver,

87
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>every family member that's been touched by any blood cancer.

88
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>And again, the event is coming up here. It sounds

89
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>like it's a long ways away, but it's almost here.

90
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 2>It's less than three weeks. We're heading into two weeks

91
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 2>here from the event. So yes, a lot of different

92
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>ways you can get involved. One is registering and coming

93
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 2>and registration is free, so you can go to Lightthnight

94
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 2>dot org and sign up and show up. You can

95
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 2>sign up as a caregiver, you can sign up as

96
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 2>a survivor, you can sign up in memory of someone.

97
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 2>The other thing we offer is you can form a team,

98
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 2>so if you have friends and family that wie want

99
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 2>to come and join you, you can form a team

100
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 2>and come out together and again showing support and celebrating.

101
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>The other thing we do is fundraising, so if that

102
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>is something that you are motivated to do, when you register,

103
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 2>you have that option of setting up a fundraising page,

104
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>send a couple emails, get some support. We obviously are

105
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 2>a nonprofit organization and do rely on fundraising, so that's

106
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 2>a big piece of our event as well.

107
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.959
<v Speaker 1>Again, the event is coming up here in just a

108
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 1>few weeks. Lightthnight dot org is where you go to
