The third annual ACS Relay For Life of Franklin County is a celebration of cancer survivorship and a fun way to raise vital funds needed to help find a cure for cancer. The event is set for the night of Friday, May 15 through Saturday morning, May 16. Participants will celebrate the lives of local residents who have survived cancer, while offering the hope of finding a cure. Some 280 walkers and committee members are hoping to raise $61,000 to benefit the American Cancer Society. See the May 14 edition of the Optic-Herald for more information.
