from a Niles Daily Star reporter's online posted story (Sunday late afternoon):
The 13th annual Relay began with a noontime opening ceremony and survivors' lap. People (were) walking the track for 20 hours until 8 a.m. Sunday. (It was a) picture-perfect day, featuring hundreds of walkers - many of them cancer survivors, wearing purple shirts. Dozens of tents lined the circular track, many of them offering games, face painting, food, beverages, even haircuts to raise money for the cause. A DJ (playing taped music) was on hand as children played in the inflatable bouncing castle (along with) games, sports, silent auctions, arts & crafts sales, barbecues.
Chairperson Dawn Lamson expected the total came to $140,000: we were number one in 2007; it really brings the community together; it's a learning experience; you can learn about cancer and how to fight against it!
