A Rockbridge First

The first-ever Conquer Chiari Walk was held this past Saturday at the Rockbridge County High School track. Unfortunately the foul weather from Tropical Storm Ophelia kept walkers away, but people did turn up to buy raffle tickets from several area businesses including Cattleman’s Market, Walkabout Outfitter and Sugar MapleTrading Company. ABOVE, Laurie Moore (left), organizer of the event, poses with two other local Chiarians, Janet Burke and Cassandra “Cassi” Mohler. AT IMMEDIATE LEFT, brothers Josh and John Moore take a stroll around the track. BELOW, raffle items are displayed under the tent. Even with a low attendance, the event raised $2,529 for Chiari research. (Joann Ware photos) 09/27/2023 12:00 AM
