While October is Breast Cancer Awareness, it hasn’t stopped several organizations from raising awareness of several other cancers. In fact, the knowledge being distributed is the same that is being built on to raise awareness for other cancer related illnesses. Childhood cancer is one such.
Last Saturday the Key Club of the Georgetown International Academy hosted a walk for raising awareness about childhood cancers and garnering support for families dealing with such phenomena.
The walk began at the National Park, traveled along Carifesta Avenue, then into High and main Street before coming to an end at the Parade Ground. A small fair was held in order to get support through finances to help children with cancers, especially those form the interior regions.
