Whooping Cranes Over Tennessee is seeking your help. We are now registering
persons to walk in the Walk-a-thon that begins on Thursday,October 10 at the
Tennessee-Kentucky state line and ends in Chattanooga at the Tennessee River
Park on Saturday October, 19.
For those who would like to help make a difference, you may walk yourself for
one or miles along the route, or you may be an absentee sponsor and raise
funds for and sponsor one or more walkers in your place. Our first two
walkers are brave souls who have taken the challenge to walk two of the worst
miles of the route- steep, heart attack curvy mountain terrain. Their ages?
85 and 83 respectively- Dave and Robbie Hassler. Thank you both.
Please join them if you can. Register on line or request Absentee Sponsorship
