Everybody needs a buddy! The Hannibal Regional Foundation is hosting its annual walk celebrating four-legged friends and helping local cancer survivors and families. The Paws For a Cause walk highlights the important role that pets play in the healing and coping process for many patients. This year’s Paws For a Cause walk will be held Saturday, September 7th at 9:00 am on the Hannibal Regional Healthy Way Fitness Trail. Grand marshals for the event will again be Mary Dunaway, a cancer survivor, along with her golden retriever, Buddy. Registration can be done ahead of time by calling the Foundation at (573) 629-3577 or visiting hannibalregional.org/paws4cause. Walkers can also sign up the morning of the event at the Fitness Trail. With their paid registration participants will receive a Paws For a Cause t-shirt, a special gift for their buddy, as well as a professional photograph with their furry friend. Funds raised from the walk will support local cancer patients at the Hannibal Regional Cancer Institute and Cary Cancer Center. The Foundation invites you to register today and bring your buddy to this year’s Paws For a Cause walk!
