13TH ANNUAL LAPPER & SURVIVORS DAY CELEBRATION

Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana will hold the 13th Annual Lapper and Survivors Day Celebration on Saturday, May 16.

The Lapper is a special event to honor or memorialize people touched by cancer and is a fundraising walk to benefit Cancer Services’ clients. All of the money raised at the event stays in Northeast Indiana to help our friends and neighbors with cancer.

Lapper participants are encouraged to walk as many laps around Brotherhood Place Office Park, 6316 Mutual Drive, as they can. The point is to test their endurance and push past their comfort zone just as people with cancer do every day.

Register for the walk online at www.lapper2015.kintera.org. Registration forms are also available at Cancer Services. Or register the day of at 9am.

Walkers who register by May 1st and raise a minimum of $25 will receive a commemorative Lapper t-shirt. Water and fresh fruit are provided during the walk, which takes place rain or shine.

After the walk, the public is invited to join us for the Survivors Day Celebration at 11 a.m. The celebration includes food, music and games to entertain the whole family.
