Mother's Day Walk On Sunday

The 24th annual Mother's Day Walk in support of breast cancer is Sunday at Canatara Park.

Organizers are hoping to raise $30,000 for programs at London hospitals.

Marsha Davidson, executive director of the Sarnia-based Breast Cancer Society of Canada, says although survival rates are improving, one in nine women will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime.
