Members and friends of the University will gather on Feb. 24 to show their solidarity with those affected by cancer — and their support for efforts to combat the deadly disease — at the fifth annual BC Relay for Life. The 12-hour event begins at 6 p.m. in the Flynn Recreation Complex.
Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society's signature fundraising activity. Donors sponsor participants who commit to having a member of their team walk the athletic track continuously throughout the event. The event also features tributes to survivors and victims of cancers, and their families.
Many people within the BC community have been touched by cancer, directly or indirectly. With Relay for Life approaching, Chronicle asked some of them to share their stories.
