The High Desert Medical Group (HDMG) sponsored the first annual Walk-A-Thon for HDMG employees and friends on Sept. 7 to raise money for the Asthma Foundation.
The event's purpose was to honor Stacey Thomas, an HDMG employee who died unexpectedly on Sept. 7, 2006 of an asthma attack.
Thomas's friend Treva Ross-Taylor planned the 'Walk-A-Thon' to honor her friend and address the challenges faced by those suffering from asthma.
Short and sweet, this story is a story of community journalism because it focuses to inform local citizens of a particular event that occured, a local fundraiser. This was an event that had the purpose of telling local people about this issue, challengers of asthma, and at the same time inform them about the event itself.
