Registration is at 9:00 a.m. with a starting time of 10:00 a.m. at the First Christian Church at 224 East Stoddard Street. Lunch will be served on the ground upon the return of the runners and walkers.

We’ve all hears the stories. Working parents forced to choose between groceries and medicine. Neighbors who put off seeing a doctor because they are uninsured. Families saddled with debt from a medical emergency. Doctors who can’t treat their cancer patient as they see best because the insurance company denied payment. Young adults picked up by law enforcement because they couldn’t get treatment for their mental illness. Local hospitals cutting jobs and closing doors.
