Light the Night: D.C.

It was a lovely night for a walk, for a fantastic cause! FOX 5's Jim Lokay led this year's Light the Night walk in Washington D.C. at the National Mall.

Light the Night events around the D.C. area and across the country raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The walk was the last of three in the area, as the other two were held in Rockville, Maryland and in Reston, Virginia.

The events raise money to help find a cure for blood cancers and help generate somewhere in the ballpark of $3 million.
