Teams of walkers raised money in the names of "Honored Heroes"—patients and survivors of blood cancer.

Two more Light The Night Walks are planned for Saturday at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC, and Oct. 20 at the Reston Town Center.
LLS-NCA has raised $1.5 million towards its goal of raising $2.2 million to fight cancer, The Gazette reported.
The national campaign raised more than $50 million across 185 communities last year, according to an LLS-NCA news release.
