One of Marathon’s most popular fundraisers is growing, taking the sea of pink in the Florida Keys Hope Walk to a second night of respect and remembrance for cancer patients.
On Nov. 7, the trails were lit at Crane Point for a luminaria walk, with dozens of custom-decorated lanterns honoring those affected by cancer – and those still thriving and beating the disease.
Like the daytime Hope Walk on Oct. 24, this year’s events were offered in memory of longtime locals Clara and Jerry Mayette.
“It was a magical night, and the hammock never looked better lit up in purple and white,” said Crane Point CEO Charlotte Quinn.
Donations are still open for the event, benefiting the American Cancer Society. For more information or to make a donation, scan the QR code. Photos contributed
