An effort to raise awareness and money for the Sunshine Kids Foundation.
It provides free programs and events for children who are undergoing cancer treatments in hospitals across North America.
Tanya Mueller learned of the group through her business and is now organizing a walk-a-thon later this month to give back.
“I though it would be a great way to bring the community together to bring awareness and raise a lot of money for these children.”
The walk is scheduled for the morning of June 23.
Mueller says the plan is to start at the La Place Rendez-Vous at 10 a.m.
She’s hoping participants will wear yellow and walk along the waterfront to the Rainy Lake Square.
Mueller isn’t asking people to raise money for the walk, but will have a donation box at the Square in the event people would like to donate.
The Sunshine Kids Foundation has been around since 1982.
It was created by a volunteer who was helping out in the pediatric cancer unit of a hospital in Houston, Texas.
