METROPOLIS, Ill. (KFVS) - The Cancer Warriors Walk of Hope will be coming to Metropolis to host a one-day community event.
Cancer patients, caregivers and family members of all ages are invited to attend the event on Saturday, September 23 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Dorothy Miller Park, next to Harrah’s Casino.
Healthcare providers and businesses serving area cancer families say the purpose of the event is to provide a day full of fun and resources for those impacted by cancer.
While it is not a fundraising event, it will give families the chance to enjoy the park’s walking path.
Features of the event include games, several bounce houses, face painting, a balloon artist, yoga, music and more. Each will be provided by regional healthcare providers and local businesses.
Admission is free to the public with no prior registration needed.
Organizers say the walking path is paved and easily accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. Leashed pets are welcome.
