Friday night the Cannon County community will come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The Cannon County chapter of the American Cancer Society will hold the Cannon County Relay for Life event at the Cannon County Courthouse in Woodbury.
Relay For Life teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around the courthouse area. Events are up to 24 hours long, and because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times. Tonight’s event honors those lost to Cancer with the luminara ceremony after it gets dark. There will also be a recognition of those that have survived cancer or are currently diagnosed with cancer.
The event starts at 6:00
