A National Brain Tumor Nature Walk is taking place this coming Septemeber, over at Weldon Springs State Recreation Area east of Clinton. The walk is to create awareness and to honor all who are suffering or have suffered from brain cancer.  

 

Lauren Thompson experienced first hand, as her mother passed away from a glioblastoma malforma (GBM). Lauren wanted to help raise awareness by starting her own event.

 

 

 

The goal of the event is to raise $25,000 dollars for the National Brain Tumor Society and find a cure for brain tumors. The nature walk will be on September 8th at 10 a.m. For more information on the event visit nbtsevents.braintumor.org or by calling Lauren Thompson at (217)-622-8294.
