'It Takes Hope to Heal'
The American Cancer Society's Relay for life started at 3 p.m. Friday at Callahan Park. During the opening ceremony, event chair and cancer survivor Dorie Meabon said "Your involvement contributes to empowering people to fight back against cancer. A cancer survivor's recovery involves much more than medical treatment. It takes hope to heal. By participating in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life those touched by cancer can feel empowered to fight back against this disease."
The Relay continues until 3 p.m. today and includes a variety of musical entertainment until noon and a final lap at 1:30 p.m.
As of 10 p.m. Friday, the relay had taken in more than $70,000.
Balloons are released during opening cermonies of the American Cancer Society's 14th Annual Relay for Life in Bradford. The purple is for "Celebrate," the the blue is for "Remember," and the red is for "Fight Back."
Don Fredeen, President and General Manager of WESB/WBRR, along with Marie Costello of the ACS, display the Business of the Year Award the cancer society presented to the radio stations.
Marie also chatted with Frank Williams during 100.1 The HERO's live broadcast from the relay.
Luminaria "in honor of" and "in memory of" people who have battled cancer line the sidewalks at Callahan Park. The luminaria lighting ceremony took place right after the survivor ceremony. You can see the survivors take their victory lap here:
