Please mark your calendars for September 10^th and 11^th because you will not want to miss the 17^th annual Multi-County Cancer Support Network (MCCSN) Walk-a-thon. This Walk-a-thon is the primary fundraiser for MCCSN.   It will again take place at the old Franklin County High School football stadium at 6:30 p.m.  This very important fundraiser begins when cancer patients and survivors walk the first lap as “Amazing Grace” is sung.  Seeing these men and women walk around the track reminds us all of the battle that each of these individuals has fought or are continuing to fight.  Standing ovations are given to these brave men and women as some are almost sprinting around the track and others are pushed in wheelchairs by family members.  All are smiling as we detect determination in their spirit.

MCCSN is an organization formed to help relieve the everyday crises of families touched by cancer in an eight-county area including Franklin, Coffee, Moore, Lincoln, Grundy, Marion, Warren, and Bedford.  Financial aid is provided to those qualifying as well as wheelchairs, wigs, etc. 

Teams are made up of 12 members that each donate $50.00.  These team members each receive a T-shirt and a coupon booklet for snacks from the concession stand.  Hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza and many more food items are for sale all through the night. 

Team forms may be obtained from Carla Glosson at the MCCSN office located at 110 E Lauderdale St. in Tullahoma, TN or by calling 931-393-4443 or 1-800-497-4322.  Survivors will receive their shirts free of charge from the office in Tullahoma or from Janet Torstenson at the Winchester Antique Mall

At 8:45 p.m. on 9/10, we will have a candle lighting ceremony.  Candles will be lit in honor of cancer survivors and in memory of cancer victims.  The candles will be placed around the edge of the track and lit in this special ceremony.  Individuals that have passed away during this past year will be remembered in the “Circle of Light”.  Those candle bags are placed in the center of the football field.  CYou may send the form to the MCCSN office or get more information by calling Helen Rose @ 967-1205.  The fee for each candle is $10.00.
