Five hundred neighbours walked, and cancer support in Homewood-Flossmoor grew $80,000 stronger

More than 500 walkers — double last year's turnout — turned out on Sunday for the Pink-A-Boo Walk of Hope in Homewood-Flossmoor, Illinois, raising over $80,000 for the Cancer Support Center, which helps local families live with cancer's practical and emotional weight. The Homewood-Flossmoor High School cheer squad lined the route to roar people on. Community fundraisers rarely make national news; they just quietly decide whether the support group meets, the counsellor is paid and the rides to treatment keep running. This one doubled — and so did its good.
