Does someone close to you have cancer? Or maybe you know a friend of a friend? Cancer never affects just the person who has it; it affects everyone that is close to them. That's why the American Cancer Society is holding the Relay for Life on August 3. It begins at 6 p.m. and it's free. The relay is held so that anyone who is diagnosed with cancer knows they're not alone. More importantly, the event is held so no one will ever be diagnosed with cancer again through the raising of funds associated with the event.
