Havertown lights up the town to support girls with cancer
The vibrant emerald color that illuminates the streets of Havertown every night is no mystery to locals. It's a show of support to three girls battling cancer.

Last March, 15-year-old Lily Walker was diagnosed with a brain tumor.



Not long after, she learned that two other nearby students, 16-year-old Hannah Hermansen and 18-year-old Jack Cloran, were fighting similar battles.


Their community began to cover their neighborhood in green lights in support of the three teens. Reminding them that darkness does not last forever!



The community also rallied to sell t-shirts adorned with the "Let Your Light Shine Bright" and "No One Fights Alone" slogan. They raised $3,000 to donate to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
