City of Marietta Proclaims September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September is officially Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Marietta!π
Yesterday, our community gathered in the Marietta Square in honor of our youngest and most courageous citizens, those battling childhood cancer. Councilman Johnny Walker read the city proclamation and honored our Millie Mracek and all of the brave fighters in our area. He urged the Marietta community to come out and participate in events all month long at local businesses to support the @mightymillie Foundation. We heard from Millieβs parents, aunt, grandparents, friends, and leaders in our community. It was a day of awareness, sadness, strength, celebration, love, and action.
It is our mission to bring community together to raise awareness, funding, resources, and research for childhood cancer. We have the deepest gratitude for our amazing city for standing alongside us to do just that.
Marietta families, we see you, we love you, you are not alone. This is for you.π
Together, forever, we fight childhood cancer.π
Councilman Johnny Walker reading the proclamation:
βDuring the month of September, we stand together as a community to honor the Marietta families affected by childhood cancer, raise awareness, funding, and help to make life-long changes in childhood cancer; and
THEREFORE: I, R. Steve Tumlin, Jr., Mayor of the City of Marietta, and Johnny Walker, Councilman, honor our youngest Marietta residents, who have or are courageously battling pediatric cancer, and we proclaim September 2022 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.β
