Word on the street - July 8, 2010

This July 9 and 10 is the Colfax Relay for Life, an event to raise awareness and funds for cancer. How has your life or someone you know been affected by cancer?

“My husband had cancer and passed away. It’s been 17 years already.”

“Yeah, lots of people. My daughter died of cancer six years ago. She was 33 years old.”
