For the past 28 years, the Lima community has come together to beat cancer one step at a time.
Survivors, friends, and family headed out to Spartan Stadium for the Lima Relay for Life. Over the past 28 years, the Lima Relay has raised over $2 million. That money combined with other relays has helped fund medical breakthroughs which have prolonged life for people diagnosed with cancer. Which is a disease that is present in every household, in every community, nationwide.
“I think there is not one person that has not been touched by cancer,” says Cheryl Nagy, of the Lima Relay for Life. “So, it is easy, and people know where the money goes, and if you look at the scoreboard and look at all of those names, that is why we do it.”
Before the Lima Relay started Friday night, they raised over $81,000, and they could break the $100,000 mark after the relay is complete.
