Light The Night Walk Red Deer to raise funds for blood cancer research
A local leukemia survivor is sharing his story to help raise funds and awareness for blood cancer research.
Red Deer’s Michael Wark will participate in the 4th annual Light The Night Walk this Saturday as an Honoured Hero.
The event takes place at Bower Ponds from 5:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Wark recently completed treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a cancer said to start in the bone marrow, but often quickly moving into the blood and sometimes spreading to other parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, liver, spleen and central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
