BILLINGS - Get your walking shoes on as the third annual Livestrong Day is this Friday.

The Walk for Hope and Healing is for cancer survivors or anyone touched by cancer from the moment of diagnosis on. This year it will be held at Dehler Park in Billings. Participants are asked to enter from the north entrance.

The event starts Friday night at 5:30 p.m. and lasts until 7 p.m. There will also be live music, and you are asked to wear yellow; the official color of the event.

The walk is being held a few months later than in years past due to a change in national scheduling. Jayne Lakey will speak at the event.
She lost her husband to lung cancer and she herself is a kidney cancer survivor.

She said it feels like you are walking with extended family, "We all have a bond, something in common, and we cheer for each other."

Livestrong Day is the Lance Armstrong foundation's one-day initiative to unite people affected by cancer in raising awareness of cancer issues in communities.

The event is hosted by Billings Clinic.
