Light the Night for Leukemia ottawa

This was my 4th year for this event.  A friend from university had leukemia and fought it for 4 years before leaving us.  The crowd loves the lightsabers and ive never heard anybody question there are troops at this event.  We mingle, pose, and head out to the route the walkers take, and give them a lightsaber salute arch to pass through.

 

Last night it took about 11 minutes for everyone walking to pass by, most with their own lit lantern style luminaries, and many saying "thanks" to us for the salute:. Like we are the heroes at events like these.

 

I opted to light up my armour:. The pathway is usually darkened for this event but, of course, not this time.  You can kinda make out the el wire, and dozens took pics as they walked by.  I tried a new idea:. Orange glowsticks folded into ribbons.  It worked, and will be repeated.

 

Ill get some ids for these after school.
