It'll be a first time event for a national organization in the midwest, and it honors a crown jewel of the DeWitt County and central Illinois community.

It'll be a first time event for the National Brain Tumor Association in the midwest. Lauren Thompson explains their Nature Walk at Weldon Springs this Saturday was just a way to honor her mother, Carol Thompson but has turned into something bigger than she anticipated.

The Nature Walk will be a full day of fun with food and entertainment for kids and adults alike. Thompson says they have a wide-range of thinks to do.

If you plan to attend, Thompson ask you register so they know how many are attending.

To register, visit Facebook and find the event by searching National Brain Tumor Society Nature Walk.

Due to the amount of support from the community, organizers are asking for a $5 donation per person or $10 donation per family.
