The Walk is a way to unite the survivors and their families as well as to
remember those we have lost to brain tumors. The Walk also raises funds for brain tumor research at the
University Of IL College Of Medicine at Peoria in hopes of a suitable
treatment or a cure. The entry fee is $20 for adults, kids age 10 and under
are $10, and brain cancer survivors are free. For more information, go

a special Operation Christmas Child event! You will get to meet Livia Young who received an OCC shoebox as an orphan in
Romania. She will share her story of how God used that box to change
her life and you’ll hear about the incredible ministry of OCC that sees a
child accept Jesus every 25 seconds! You’ll also learn how you can pack
shoeboxes and bless children and grow the Kingdom. The event will be held
