Has cancer ever affected anyone you

like for you to join us! The relay will
be held in May 16 and 17, but it’s time
to fund-raise now. We need school
groups, churches, youth groups, busi
nesses, community groups or neigh
borhoods to join us in the fight. If you
are a caregiver or cancer survivor, we
would like you to contact us for a spe
cial invitation to join the fight. You
will receive a special T-shirt and will
meet in the survivor’s tent for food
and other festivities. This is a fight we
need everyone to help beat. We need
your help as a group. For more infor
mation, call Mike and Willene Boyle
