Stormy skies and intermittent downpours didn't stop attendees from participating in the annual Relay for Life of East Clark County. The 24-hour event, held on Saturday and Sunday, raises money for the American Cancer Society.
These flags were placed along the course, a solemn reminder of the lives taken by cancer.
Peggy Denny, 19, poses with "Chester Cheeta," who was handing out free Cheetos to participants. It's her first year on a relay team.
Every year, a group of dedicated walkers and runners comes together to celebrate life and putting an end to cancer with the Relay for Life of East Clark County event.The 24-hour relay, a benefit for the American Cancer Society, draws people from all walks of life: Cancer survivors, those who have lost a loved one to the disease, or people who just want to help out and have fun while doing it.
“I really like the survivor lap, and all the participation from various ages,” said Kathi Terwilleger.
