Walk the Journey of Hope at Araneta Center






Araneta Center, together with Courageous Light, remembers the purposeful life of the late Caitlin Lucas, also known as Courageous Catie, with a photo exhibit entitled “A Journey of Hope” happening on August 6 to September 3, 2016 at the Gateway Mall Activity Center and Gateway Gallery. 

Netizens remember Caitie as the courageous 3-year-old who battled juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), a rare cancer of the blood affecting infants and toddlers. Before her untimely death, Catie captured the hearts of thousands when her mom started the Facebook page, “Courageous Caitie,” the young girl’s story of strength and faith. 

Celebrate on what would have been Caitie’s birthday during the grand launch of the photo exhibit on August 6 at 1:00 p.m. at the Gateway Mall Activity Center. 

During the launch, enjoy tons of fun and creative activities with your family in the Crafts Area with the Mosaic, Light and Verse Crafts and Painting and Sand Painting booths and be inspired by photos on display on August 6 -12.

You can also enjoy a bonding session with your loved ones during the Parent and Child workshops to be held on August 13, 20, 27 and September 3 at 1 p.m. at the Gateway Gallery. To help a good cause, you may also donate or pledge a donation to Courageous Light.


Courageous Light is a movement that aims to help families of children with illnesses headed by Catie’s parents Jayjay and Feliz.
