Annual Relay For Life team comes together in the fight
Village Cut & Curl and friends team was started about 6-8 years ago. Lynda Best started a team because her own father had cancer and five years ago died from the disease. He first got chronic leukemia 24 years before, then he had squamas cell on his ear and had 32 lymph nodes in his neck and ear are removed. He then had prostrate cancer and acute leukemia. Ms. Best also lost grand parents, her mother in-law and several other friends and family member from cancer.
Her team of three main people include: Roger Broadman (a 15 year cancer survivor), Jeanie Ream, and herself. They have all had many friends and loved ones touched by cancer.
They are committed to the whole year working for Relay For Life, not just June for the event. This year, the team had a Relay For Life Bingo event, a BBQ pork dinner, a garage sale, sold community cookbooks, and have "flocks" of flamingos in yards for donation. Ms. Best states, "Our community is very supportive of us and we would not be as successful without them. We, as a team, are committed to help fight the fight against cancer."
