WHEELING -- Drivers in downtown Wheeling were a bit distracted Monday, by a group who was marching for a very good cause.
As we know, there's much debate over our national health care system.
The Children's Defense Fund of the Freedom school at the Laughlin Memorial Chapel joined in the Day of Social Action. The group started at it's location on Eighteenth Street and marched through Downtown Wheeling. They ended at Heritage Port.
Their march was to raise awareness that there is a need for health care.
The march was also held to raise awareness for healthy children, the cradle to the prison pipeline, the need for better education, and voter registration. The mission of the Children's Defense Fund is to ensure every child a healthy start.
