I would like to thank the great people of Somerset County for the great turnout for this year's American Cancer Society's "Relay For Life" held June 20-21.

If it was not for their great support, it would have been a complete washout. A special thanks for all the teams that walked in the wet sand and mud and a very special thanks to the cancer patients and cancer survivors who took part in the opening ceremonies on Saturday, reminding me that rain can get you wet, but cancer can kill you.

All of us at the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Somerset County are looking forward to helping again next year. Together we can fight back!
