More than 800 participants walk around the track at Wayne Valley High School Saturday afternoon into Sunday night as part of the annual Relay for Life. The event raises money for the American Cancer Society.
Hundreds of people walked. Some walked in memory of a loved one or friend. Others walked for themselves. Regardless of who they were there for, the message they sent was clear: a cure for cancer must, and will, be found soon. The annual Relay for Life walk kicked off Saturday afternoon. The annual event held at Wayne Valley High School drew cancer survivors, patients, and their families to a common place to encourage, support, and love each other. They walked around the track all afternoon and night. The event was scheduled to end at 6 a.m. “It’s a celebration of life,” said Christine Lai, 19. Lai was diagnosed with skin cancer when she was in junior high. The cancer was detected early enough and removed. Lai gets tested every year. “…

Dozens of students organizing annual Relay for Life walk.
Taylor Crossnohere began talking about her mother Maureen and tears welled up in her eyes. “She was such an outgoing fun person,” Crossnohere said as her friends wrapped their arms around her. “I miss her, but I guess I’m not as alone as I once thought.” Maureen died in November 2010 from lymphoma. Crossnoher is one of the co-chairs of the sixth annual Relay for Life. The overnight event raises money for the American Cancer Society. “I’ve made so many friends who have lost their mothers to cancer, you can relate to one another and help each other,” Crossnohere said. Cancer survivors and their families and friends, will gather at Wayne Valley High School on May 12. They will walk around the jogging track all afternoon and night to honor the…

Wayne resident: 'You never give up hope.'
Some walked to fight. Others walked to celebrate. Others walked to remember those who died. Hundreds of people attended the fifth annual Relay for Life at Wayne Valley High School Saturday night. The 24-hour fundraising event - which raises thousands of dollars a year - was sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS) and organized by Wayne students from both high schools. Survivor Leigh Barrie told a crowd that she was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was 10-years-old. “I could remember sitting in the operating room and my mother saying to me, ‘I’ll see you soon’,” Barrie, a Wayne resident, said, adding that her cancer was discovered after she fell a few times. “I knew what was going on. I was old enough to understand how serious …
