On Saturday, October 17, 2009, I volunteered with a bunch of friends at one of the Light the Night Walk at Forest Park. The walk was for the cause of leukemia and lymphoma, which are among the life threatening illnesses out there. I wasn’t expect the volunteering to much fun at all, however, it turned out to be better than what I had expected. We started off not doing much except blow up balloons. When the participants actually came around 5 pm, it got much more crazy and busy. Our job was to hand out the balloons with the lights to the participants. While we were handing out balloons, the rest of the volunteers and my friends made it lively and fun with their stupidity and their bad singing. At the end of the long, tiring day, the best part was the free food that I’ve waited all day for.
