Not many people can say they do not know someone with cancer. American Cancer Society statistics reveal more than one million people get cancer each year. Eastern will host its first Relay For Life on April16. Relay For Life is a 12-hour event spon­ sored by the American Cancer Society where teams of 10-15 people spend one night walking around a track to celebrate cancer survivors and support future cancer research. According to the American Cancer Society, Dr. Gordy Klatt founded Relay For Life REI.AYIII because he wanted to support cancer research. In May 1985 he walked 24 hours and raised $27,000.
