Light the Night Walk
Toronto, Ontario
As some of you may know, I lost my only sister to lymphoma in September of 2005. Kathryn Anne Berning was more than my big sister - she was my best friend, a wonderful mother, a daughter, a wife, and a rare shining light in a world that so desperately needs lights like hers. Learning how to get along without her isn’t easy, but we’re all taking it one step at a time, and to that end I walk in her memory each year as part of Light the Night, organized by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
I welcome you to sponsor me or join the walk yourself.
