Relay for Life off and running today, tomorrow
BY RUTH RICE
The Tribune-Democrat
Cancer survivors will be celebrated, those who lost their battles with cancer will be remembered and everyone will be encouraged to fight back at a local Relay for Life.
American Cancer Society’s seventh annual relay will be held from 10 a.m. today to 10 a.m. Saturday at Windber Recreation Park, Route 160.
“We mainly want to celebrate those who survive,” said Marcia Berkebile, co-chairperson.
Berkebile added that a luminaria memorial service will begin at 8:30 tonight.
About 180 participants have signed up, including 54 cancer survivors.
Activities will include water games, root beer floats, making Cranes of Hope and an appearance by Johnstown Chiefs’ mascot, Tom E. Hawk.
A classic and custom car cruise will be held from 4 p.m. to dusk.
New this year is a torch relay, which will begin at 5 p.m. at Windber Area High School.
A Fight Back Ceremony at 7:30 p.m. at the Beechnut pavilion will feature WJAC-TV sports anchor Tim Rigby, who beat blood cancer several years ago.
Rigby also will speak at the luminaria service along with caregiver Joann Dressick.
Information: (800) ACS-2345 or on the Web at www.events.cancer.org
