OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s Lymphoma Walk will be held next month at Mahoney State Park near Ashland in eastern Nebraska.

The free event is hosted by the Lymphoma Research Foundation and will begin at 10 a.m. April 18, with registration at 9 a.m. at the park pavilion.

Although the event is free, vehicles must buy a $5 park permit at the park gate.

Proceeds from the non-competitive event benefit Nebraskans through research grants and patient services. The five past walks have raised $418,000 through walk participants and sponsors.

About 450 new cases of lymphoma are diagnosed in Nebraskans each year.
