Survivors speak out at Relay For Life July 18, 2009
Cancer survivors and family and friends of survivors talk about their experiences with the disease and with Relay For Life.
Zack Allen: "Several of the survivors here are my friends. Three out of four of my grandparents were lost to cancer. I'm here to just fight it."
John Husband: "This really is a good opportunity to remember and honor those who have passed and those who are fighting. We're here to raise money, and this is a great event."
Pam Lathrop: "I've lost my grandfather and my aunt. And my ex-husband and mother-in-law are survivors. I'm here for all of them. We just have to find a cure."
Donna Locker: "I had a daughter die 14 years ago, and this brings it all back."
June Ritchie: "My husband passed away from cancer six years ago. Hopefully, there will be a cure in my lifetime."
Deanna Rowley: "I'm here for the people lost who I've cared about. We hope there's a cure someday."
Brett Sperl: "I'm here to support the Relay and my wife who is on the committee. We also put leis on all of the survivors. It was just really special."
Courtney Stauffer: "We sold Popsicles to raise money."
