On Friday evening, March 30, thirty teams of local citizens will gather at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds to begin a walk that will last throughout the night.

They will be participating in an annual fund raising event sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Their reasons for participating are to honor cancer survivors, those who are currently fighting this disease, and remember those we have lost.

The American Cancer Society is the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit source of funds for scientists studying cancer. They help cancer victims find support and treatment, educate the public on healthy living and cancer detection and offer advice to caregivers.

You are welcome to come by the Fairgrounds; meet cancer survivors, and encourage the relay participants.
