Yes, it's been a while since the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life was held back in June. But being the "end" of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I think this is worth sharing, well, it's worth sharing anyway.



Corey Foley sent in this video he made from photos he and his mom Beth Foley (former H-P news editor who took a teaching job down south a few months ago) took during Relay for Life set to Rascal Flatt's "Bless the Broken Road."

Thank you Corey for sharing this with us!

I know that Anderson County's Relay for Life was a few weeks ago, but I have just now had the time to finish getting this video ready. I had to cut it down so that YouTube would accept it. It's long, but for the couple of hundred of us who were there for Relay for Life, it's meaningful to see the whole thing. Thank you Corey for putting it together!

I really like the beginning of the video when Relay for Life Chair Sarah Jo McDonald explained why it's so important.

I was off work on Relay for Life night so that I could be on a team - a new one called Team Hope. We will be back next year to fight cancer with the other teams.

You are going to LOVE this video! These guys were nice enough to volunteer to dress in drag for their team to raise money for the American Cancer Society during the Anderson County Relay for Life on Friday, June 12.

Some of the "dudes" really get into it and play it up. In the second part of the video, they see who can collect the most donations for their Relay for Life team. The winner (the guy in the black dress on the far left at the beginning of the video) won. He's from the Dragonslayer team.

I just think it's cool that these guys did this to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

The guy on the right even performs on a unicycle!

Local cancer survivors take the first lap around the track during the Anderson County Relay for Life event on Friday at Westwood High School's track.

Relay for Life team participants, family members and the community cheered the survivors on as they walked their first lap to the song "I Will Survive."

The Relay for Life committee is in search of someone to sing the National Anthem at Relay on June 12 at the Relay for Life event at Westwood's Panther Stadium. Auditions will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 16 at the Reagan Park Gazebo.

The committee also is in need of volunteers for the night of Relay to help with things such as registering survivors, serving the survivor dinner, and much more. All volunteers will receive a t-shirt. Anyone interested can contact Relay for Life Event Chair Sarah McDonald at 903-724-4178.
