Welcome to Sophie's personal Light The Night fundraising page for 2021 and thank you very much for your donation and for participating in our fundraiser- this year and in the past. Sophie Cosgrave is a fun loving, playful 4 1/2 year-old. She loves her little brother Grayson, Frozen, music, toys, puzzles, the beach, her friends and family and she is also a blood cancer survivor.
When Sophie was 13 months old she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Our family was devastated. Sophie was treated for 5 months as an inpatient at BC Children's Hospital. Our family is eternally indebted to the doctors, medical teams, researchers and support team that all contributed to Sophie's successful treatment.
During our journey we met too many children who had cancer like Sophie, however their treatments did not have the same outcome. This is why it is so important for our family to be fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society - as a means to support more research and better cures for future families like us who will have a child
diagnosed with leukemia. Our personal experience has taught us there is a lot more that can be done to put an end to blood cancers- especially for children. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your contribution.

Light The Night brings communities across Canada together for one magical evening to share stories, remember loved ones lost and pay tribute to our heroes, bringing light, love and hope to dispel the darkness of blood cancers!
By making a donation, YOU can be the voice that speaks up, the hand that reaches out and the light that can help accelerate blood cancer cures.
