MCR Foundation Fundraiser Promotes Healthy Body Image
posted May 24, 2010

The Mary Cameron Robinson Foundation is hosting its fifth annual fundraiser, A Walk for Cammy’s Cause, in memory of Mary Cameron (Cammy) Robinson. It will be held Oct. 10 at the Girls Preparatory School track, beginning at 2 p.m.

After losing Cammy five years ago to complications stemming from a 14-year battle with eating disorders, her family and friends have walked in her memory every fall. In honor of the fifth anniversary, the walk will be held at Cammy’s alma mater, Girls Preparatory School.

Last year, over $58,000 was raised with an attendance of over 400 people. Proceeds support the programs of the MCR Foundation.

The MCR Foundation hosts support groups, school programs (3rd-12th grades) and a nursing education program to help promote healthy body image and positive self esteem.

During the 2009-2010 school year, over a dozen schools were visited reaching 2,800 children in Tennessee and North Georgia.

Cost is $25 per walker. Create a team and raise more money to help the MCR Foundation. Day of registration is available, pre-registration is available online at www.mcrfoundation.com
