JACKSON, Tenn. (BP)--Nearly 300 Union University students, faculty
and staff members took advantage of free chair massages on May 5,
thanks to the volunteer efforts of licensed massage therapists from
across Tennessee.
Debbie Vann, owner of Pathways of Wellness Massage Therapy in Nashville, Tenn., recruited 21 licensed massage therapists to volunteer their time and travel expenses to give free 10-minute massages.
Vann said her intention was to offer stress relief to the Union community that suffered through a massive tornado Feb. 5 that destroyed about 70 percent of the university's student housing and caused about $40 million in damage to the Jackson campus.
