Opening ceremonies will begin at 6 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Complex, followed by an introduction of all those who have survived cancer. Next will be the Survivor Lap around 6:30 p.m., a lap dedicated to the cancer survivors in order to celebrate their victory and all that they have overcome. An introduction of the teams participating will follow and continue throughout the night. The event will be a lot of fun and gives people in the community a chance to donate to a great cause. … For the rest of the story, subscribe in print and on the web.
