Members of the Columbia Fire Department stand with Melinda and Mike Lowery, as the Lowerys hold a check for $6,200 that will be handed over Saturday to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. Every year the Lowerys travel to Memphis to take part in the 10K race to fundraise for the hospital. Pictured are, from left, Zachery Peak, James Givens, Melinda Lowery with Cash the golden retriever, Mike Lowery, Nathan Guy and Stephen Carr. Cash is a therapy dog, and his mother is the official therapy dog for St. Jude’s Hospital.
