SUMMARY: A dedicated run for cancer survivors took place, celebrating victories while raising awareness and funds for cancer research. Dr. Michael Finan, director of the cancer center at Singing River Hospital, emphasized the importance of early detection and advancements in medical technology. The event, part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, addressed various cancers and highlighted personal connections, including Dr. Finan’s experience with his son’s battle with testicular cancer. Key messages included the significance of support systems and regular health screenings, particularly for women who may have neglected gynecological check-ups. The program also introduced volunteer support initiatives for chemotherapy patients.

A majority of the money raised will stay on the Coast at the Singing River Foundation to help their cancer patients.

SUMMARY: South Mississippi meteorologist Taylor Graham reports on Tropical Storm Milton, which developed earlier and is expected to strengthen significantly, potentially making landfall as a major hurricane on Florida’s west coast by Wednesday. Fortunately, Milton poses no threat to South Mississippi. The region will experience pleasant weather with low rain chances over the next week, highlighted by a cold front arriving Tuesday, bringing drier air and lower humidity, perfect for the Cruising the Coast event. While areas of Florida prepare for heavy rainfall and winds, South Mississippi looks forward to nice temperatures in the mid-80s and refreshing mornings.
