Book Lovers Study Club hosts Walking the Road to Wellness

Book Lovers Study Club will sponsor a Breast Cancer Awareness and Fundraiser Walk Oct. 27 at the RHS Field House Touchdown Club Room. Registration is from 8:30-9 a.m., with the Walk beginning at 9 a.m. The registration is $20, which includes a T-shirt for the first 200 to register, post-walk refreshments and goody bag.

The Walking the Road to Wellness Organization was initiated by Dr. Andref Forero of UAB. Russellville’s Maudie Bedford and her sisters became active in this organization through Forero, one of the foremost cancer research physicians in the nation. As cancer survivors, they have been supportive of this organization.

This Walk is also being supported by CB&S Bank, First Metro, Alabama Central Credit Union, State Farm-Lanny Norris, Roger Bedford and Associates, Pilgrim’s, Family Pharmacy Group, Community Spirit, Sunshine Mills, Grissom Cleaners, Perception Bags, Valley State Bank and Bank Independent.
