' This weekend, there will be 33 teams at Jaycee Park. Don't look for them at the baseball diamonds and you won't find them in the ice arena. Look along the walk ing path. That's where you'll see some very special people putting their best foot forward for the 2007 Westland Relay for Life. It's one of six Relay for Life events that will be taking place this weekend in the tri-county area. For 24 hours, team members will walk the half-mile path around the park; each step marking a commitment to finding a cure ;;for cancer and honoring those who have survived and those who have lost their battle with the disease. Westland has been hosting a Relay for Life for some seven years and each year it seems Jo get bigger and bet ter in terms of participation and the amount of money raised for the American Cancer Society. Its goal this year is 35 teams raising and $101,000. To us, it looks like organizers are on task to meet at least one of those goals. But the event isn't meant for just the teams. Relay For Life is a community gathering, where everyone can par ticipate in the fight against cancer. It's meant to be fun- filled overnight and designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs for ACS. The relay offers something for everyone, from the newly diag nosed, to caregivers and friends to long-term survivors. There's plenty to see and do for families who want to ^show their support, for the relay through fund-raising "that will be going on throughout the 24 hours or by expe- LETTERS " riencing its special events - the opening ceremony to the mander-in-chief and how he has embar could help reduce auto theft and so offi r survivor's victory lap at 4 p.m. and the lighted luminar Thank the troops ies at 10 p.m. that line the path in remembrance of those rassed the military, the uniform, also cials joined together to support the devel who have died.
