Be the Light Awareness Walk

At Journey Bags, our goal is to add some light to the darkness that comes with any cancer diagnosis. 

Help us to share that light as we walk from the Murray Calloway County Hospital Regional Cancer Center to Purpose Church in our first-ever Awareness Walk.

Things to Know:

REGISTRATION:  Registration will begin at 7:00pm at the parking lot of the MCCH Regional Cancer Center.  Look for the registration tent!  Registration deadline is April 1.

LANTERNS:  Every registered participant will be given a battery-operated candle to carry along the route in order to help us shine light in the darkness.

WALKING ROUTE:  At 7:30 pm, we will begin walking south to Vine Street.  We will follow Vine Street to S. 11th St.  We will follow that street south to Purpose Church.  We will have police escorts to ensure that everyone crosses Sycamore St. safely.  

REGISTRATION FEE:  The fee for a single walker is $50.  Family & Corporate Teams (up to 15 people) will be asked to contribute $250. 

FUNDRAISERS:  There will be no onsite fundraisers for walkers/teams; however, fundraisers to cover the cost of your registration fees (or even exceed that amount!) are encouraged!

LUMINARIES:  Luminaries can be purchased for $10 each in memory of or in honor of a loved one.  These luminaries will be placed at Purpose Church to line our path as we arrive from our walk.  The deadline to purchase a luminary is April 

CELEBRATION:  Once walkers arrive at Purpose Church, a concert by local talent will be offered.  This will end in a closing event that honors all those who are on their cancer journey.
