MAGIC 105.1 WMGC’S JIM HARPER AND HIS ‘SOLE
PATROL’ GEAR UP TO WALK
Magic 105.1’s Jim Harper and his “Sole Patrol” are leading the march
in the Michigan Brest Cancer 3 Day Walk. The 60 mile walk is
happening again this year from September 26th until the 28th to help
raise money for research on the prevention and cure of breast
cancer. The Magic team currently has over 130 members ready to beat
their feet toward eliminating breast cancer. Magic’s team has raised
$156,000 for its cause, over half of its target goal of $250,000.
Beverages and food will be provided to participants in the walk, as
well as showers and entertainment at night during the long weekend
walk. If you would like to join the “Sole Patrol” you can sign up
through the Magic 105.1 website, www.detroitmagic.com, or if you
just want to help out you can donate through the Magic site to a
team member.
