The 3rd Walk for Sarcoma Awareness Event was
held on Saturday, 6/11/2005. It took the relay team 12
hours and 45 minutes to walk from the Hope Lodge in Marshfield
to the Marathon Park in (about 45 miles). People walked
as little as 1 mile or as much as they felt able. A fund
raising event was held at Hanna's Henhouse on County Road
P.
We raised $905 this year!
That is more than the first
two events combined!
I am thankful for the support received from
the communities. We plan to hold another awareness event
in 2006, possibly a biking and walking event. Please
consider supporting us by participating or sponsoring a
participant.
