The family of the late Carol Thompson are hoping nature enthusiasts or those who were impacted by Thompson's love for nature will take part in an event benefit the Brain Tumor Society.
The National Brain Tumor Society Nature walk is scheduled for July 23 this summer, and organizer Lauren Thompson says the day is all about raising awareness and funds for the organization in memory of her mother.
The event at Weldon Springs State Park will allow anyone interested to come and go as they please between 9 am and 4 pm. Thompson says they will have walks catered to young kids along with raffles and refreshments and giveaways.
Thompson indicates 83-cents of every dollar donated goes to research.
