Through the event, volunteers gather together once a year to celebrate life and remember those they lost their battle against cancer. They raise money for cancer education and research to find the cure for the disease.
The American Cancer Society sponsors Relay for Life walkathons across the country year-round. For more information on how to participate in the fight against cancer, go to relayforlife.org.
