More than 1,200 walkers are expected to hit thetrails of Yokuts Park, following either a 1.5-mile or3-mile stroll along the Kern River bike path. Hal-loween-themed attractions will be placed along theroute and at the finish line at Yokuts Park, whereparticipants and volunteers will be treated withlunch by Santa Barbara Pizza & Chicken, RJ’s Bar& Grill, and Rubio’s Mexican.

This is the 12th consecutive year the SouthernCalifornia and Nevada chapters have held “WalkMS” in Bakersfield. What started as a $10,000fundraiser with several hundred participants hasgrown to an event raising about $100,000 annually.
“With this growing support, I know we are soclose to finding a cure for this chronic disease,”said Kim Kotrla, director for the San Joaquin Val-ley region. “To help us get closer to a world free ofMS, we would truly be grateful to anyone who canhelp us in any way, whether it be as a volunteer,walker, or donor.”

Hospitals unite for Waynenursing school scholarshipCOURTESY OF BAKERSFIELD BOBBY SOX
In the same spirit of unity Wendy Wayne was sowell known for, San Joaquin Community Hospitaland Dignity Health-Mercy of Bakersfield andBakersfield Memorial Hospitals have made ajoint $20,000 donation to the nursing school
scholarship fund at CalState Bakersfield estab-lished in Wayne’shonor.
Wayne, 64, died June17 after a long battlewith non-Hodgkin’slymphoma. An outpour-ing of community sup-port soon followed witha packed crowd at herpublic memorial heldJuly 7 in the Fox The-ater, and later for“Wendy Wayne Day,” apay-it-forward effortwhere people took ongood deed assignmentsin memory of Wayne.
San Joaquin hospitalalso announced it would name the resource library atits cancer center for Wendy Wayne. For the last twoyears, Wayne was the project coordinator for the can-cer center at San Joaquin Community Hospital.
The hospital partnership is honoring Wayne, whograduated from CSUB in 1978 with a degree in nurs-ing, with a combined $20,000 donation to the nursingschool scholarship.
“Like so many others in this community, we weregreatly influenced by Wendy’s positive spirit and herconstant acts of selflessness,” said JarrodMcNaughton, San Joaquin hospital’s vice president ofmarketing and development. “Wendy epitomized thespirit of cooperation, and it is in that same spirit thatwe are joining with Memorial and Mercy hospitals todonate to the scholarship named for her.”
Mercy and Memorial Hospital official echoed thatsentiment.
“Working together we accomplish two things. First,supporting the education of local nursing students atCSUB and hopefully keeping them here to care forour community and then, acting on that little voiceinside all of us who knew Wendy to collaborate andwork for a purpose,” said Robin Mangarin-Scott, Dig-nity Health’s director of strategic marketing.
