Cancer Walk Planned

Residents in International Falls are being encouraged to walk tomorrow in support of local cancer patients.

A community cancer walk will take place at Bronco arena.

One of the organizers Wendy Mayer says they're doing it to raise money for travel expenses.

"Most of us that are on the community are post cancer survivors," says Mayer, "and we felt this was a real need for the community. We realize we can't help in all areas, but travel is the biggest due to our location so we wanted to do something to help raise funds for transportation."

The event begins at 9 a.m. with registration at 8:30 p.m.

Cost is 5 dollars and the event is open to anyone.
