Relay for Life helps raise funds and awareness

This year's Relay for Life was a somewhat smaller and, at 18 hours instead of 24, quicker affair this year. Organizers of the annual event, which raises money for the American Cancer Society and spreads cancer awareness, say they are still collecting and counting money that was raised. Kathy Tietz, who chaired the event for the first time this year, says that about 250 people attended the Relay which was held at the North Mason High School track.
