Christmas has once again arrived early at a North Kildonan home for a good cause.

A Winnipeg man carried on his tradition of lighting up his neighbourhood over the holidays.

For the fifth year in a row, Michael Geiger-Wolf’s elaborate Christmas lights are on display. This year, he has 70,000 lights, more than 300 feet of networking cable and nearly three kilometres of extension cords.

Wolf’s display is about more than pretty lights; it’s about raising cancer awareness. He was diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin lymphoma and beat it. Then, a new cancer was found in 2012, but he was declared cancer-free last year after chemo.

Geiger-Wolf’s light display has raised more than $27,000 since it began.

The lights are on full display on Mildred Street until the first week of January, until 9:30 p.m. on weekdays and until midnight on weekends.
