Walking for a Cause: My Journey with Family and Innovate Real Estate in Honor of Blood Cancer Awareness

Blood Cancer touches so many lives, and for those who have lost loved ones, the fight becomes deeply personal. This past weekend, I had the privilege of joining the Light the Night walk, an event dedicated to raising awareness and support for blood cancer patients and their families. Walking alongside my family in honor of my late husband made the experience profoundly meaningful. What made it even more special was having my broker in charge from Innovate Real Estate in Florida walk with us, showing that community support extends beyond personal circles.

The Power of Walking Together

Walking for a cause brings people together in a way few other activities can. The Light the Night walk is more than just a stroll; it’s a collective statement of hope, remembrance, and action. As a realtor, I often focus on helping families find homes, but this event reminded me that home is also about the people we love and the memories we carry.

Walking with my family allowed us to honor my late husband’s memory in a tangible way. Each step was a tribute to his strength and the impact blood cancer has on families. It was a moment to reflect on the journey, the challenges, and the hope that fuels the fight against this disease.

Support from Innovate Real Estate

Having my broker in charge from Innovate Real Estate join us was a powerful reminder of how important community support is. Her presence showed that the company values more than just business success; it cares about the causes that affect its people.

This walk was a chance to connect on a deeper level with colleagues and friends, sharing stories and supporting one another. It also highlighted how businesses can play a role in giving back, not just through donations but by actively participating in events that matter.

Why Cancer Awareness Matters

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Awareness events like Light the Night help educate the public, raise funds for research, and provide support for patients and families. By participating, we contribute to a larger movement that aims to improve outcomes and offer hope.

For me, this cause is personal. Losing my husband to blood cancer changed my perspective on life and community. It inspired me to use my platform as a realtor to give back by giving a percentage of my compensation on each closing and support organizations like the Blood Cancer United Foundation. Every step we took was a step toward making a difference.

How You Can Get Involved

If you want to support Blood cancer awareness, there are many ways to get involved:

• Join local walks or runs that raise funds for cancer research.

  
  

• Volunteer with organizations that support patients and families.

  
  

• Donate to foundations dedicated to Blood cancer treatment and prevention.

  
  

• Share stories to raise awareness and encourage others to participate.

  
  

Being part of a community effort amplifies the impact. Whether you walk with family, friends, or colleagues, your involvement sends a message of hope and solidarity.

The Impact of Family and Community

Walking with my family made the event deeply emotional and healing. It reminded me that while cancer takes so much, it also brings people together in unexpected ways. The support from Innovate Real Estate added another layer of connection, showing how professional relationships can extend into meaningful personal support.

This experience reinforced my commitment to giving back. As a realtor, I am fortunate to work with many families and because of these families trusting me with one of the biggest decisions in their lives wether it be to sell their home or buying a home I am able to use that position to support causes that matter. Walking at the Light the Night Walk for Blood cancer awareness is one way to honor those we have lost and help those still fighting.

Moving Forward with Purpose

The Light the Night walk was a powerful reminder that every action counts. Whether it’s walking, donating, or simply spreading the word, each effort contributes to a larger goal. For me, this journey is ongoing. I will continue to donate a percentage of each home I have the honor of closing on. I will walk, support, and advocate for cancer awareness alongside my family and the team at Innovate Real Estate.

If you have a cause close to your heart, consider how you can use your own platform to make a difference. Together, we can build stronger communities and offer hope to those who need it most.
