Shining a light on Childhood Cancer

September, being an International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the Boston Chapter of Access Life America organized for lighting of iconic bridges from Massachusetts to carry golden glitter  (Gold being the color associated with Childhood Cancer Cause).

1. Zakim Bridge (Boston, MA)
2. Burns Bridge (Worcester, MA)
3. Longfellow Bridge (Boston, MA)
4. Fore River Bridge (Quincy, MA) were illuminated in golden & red color. Access Life India has been doing a similar lighting initiative in Mumbai for past couple of years, but Access Life America did it for the very first time this year in the US and it would not have been possible without the support from Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). We hope to continue our efforts to create maximum awareness about this cause and supporting our little bravehearts.
