BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

CADIZ—The 2021 Wendy’s Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness is scheduled for Oct. 9. This year’s walk will mark 13 years since Wendy Ledger (founder) was diagnosed with cancer, and it’s the 10th year that the walk has been held. Wendy still has metastatic breast cancer and continues her fight daily, along with providing breast cancer awareness through the fundraiser.

“I have been doing Wendy’s Walk to raise money for local women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer,” Ledger said. “This is the 10th year for the walk. In addition to the walk, we will be holding a quarter auction and a car and motorcycle cruise-in. The opening for the event will begin at the Jewett Volunteer Fire Department. The 5k run/walk is at 10 a.m., with registration from 9–9:45 a.m. The quarter auction will begin at 1. The car cruise-in will be from 12 p.m. through 4 p.m. and will be at the Jewett Wildcat Community Center. I am always accepting sponsors for the event but need to have anyone wishing to be a sponsor contact me by Oct. 1,” she added.

Sponsorships for the event are in the amounts of $100, $200, or $300. All the sponsors will have their names printed on the event’s T-shirts. Hot dogs and drinks will be provided to those making contributions. “I would like to thank everyone in advance for donating and sponsoring the 2021 Wendy’s Walk. We also would welcome anyone that wishes to volunteer their time in making the fundraiser a success. I sincerely appreciate all of you!”

The car show will feature music by BobKat Entertainment. For information regarding the cruise-in, contact John Best at 740-433-5965 or Gary Dodds at 740-942 2444. For general event information, please contact Wendy at 740-945-2003.
