The Rhode Island Senate has introduced a resolution, SR 1118, supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) "Light the Night Walk," scheduled for September 27, 2025. The LLS is a charitable organization focused on combating blood cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma. The resolution emphasizes the organization's mission to cure these diseases and enhance the quality of life for patients and their families.

The Light the Night Walk is a significant fundraising event aimed at funding research, providing advocacy and support for blood cancer patients, and raising community awareness. The event will take place in Providence, beginning at the Rhode Island State House, where participants will carry lanterns to symbolize hope in the fight against cancer. The Senate encourages all Rhode Islanders to participate in this evening walk to support the cause and contribute to ongoing efforts to find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients. Additionally, the resolution mandates that a certified copy be sent to Laura Lanni, the Campaign Development Manager for the Providence Light The Night Walk.

Introduced by Senator Hanna M. Gallo on May 29, the resolution has been placed on the Senate Consent Calendar.
