breakfast of the Perry Relay for
Life. At this meeting 15 organi
zations came forward as teams.
Mayor Jim Worrall through his
personal experiences gave a very
inspirational speech to motivate
cooperation and teamwork
Join the celebration of the
relay for life. It is a unique, chal
lenging and fun way to raise
funds for the American Cancer
Society as well as a way to cele
brate the lives of our cancer sur*
vivors and to remember those
that we have lost to this disease.
The relay begins at 7 p.m.
May 14 and continues through
noon May 15 at the Perry High
School track.
Participants form teams of 10
or more people, taking turns
walking on the track. Teams pay
a registration fee of $lO per team
member and each receives a
Relay for Life T-shirt. Each team
member’s goal is to raise a mini
mum of SIOO. Teams have a site
at the track to serve as their team
headquarters. It’s a lot of fun and
for a great cause!
Cancer survivors from all over
the community are encouraged
to come walk the first celebrated
lap at 7 pm and be honored by all
the participants. Each team is to
invite a minimum of 5 survivors.
