From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"The local version of the nationwide “Kilos for a Cure” competition that uses its profits to fund research for the American Cancer Society will be hosted again by RWL Weightlifting. 

Scores from across the country are combined online during the month-long competition. Scores are tallied by both weight lifted, and donations collected. 

To sign up for the competition, visit The American Cancer Society website and search “Kilos for a Cure.” The competition starts on Oct. 1, when the full workout will be announced. All results must be reported by Oct. 31."
