We will walk to raise funds for cancer research to hopefully one day beat the disease that affects so many people in our community. We’ll have a great time doing it, while staying up all night. Register online and then bring in the registration form that will be emailed to you along with the $25 registration fee to the Relay Reg booth at school.
