Lyon County Relay for Life to be held Aug. 21

The Lyon County American Cancer Society's Relay for Life will be held on Thursday, Aug. 21 in the City of Marshall public parking lot off the intersection of West Main Street and South Fourth Street behind downtown businesses.
Relay for Life, an annual event, honors cancer survivors and caregivers, remembers loved ones, and fights back against cancer.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is the only global walk that stands for every cancer while we walk for every life. Since 1985, communities across the world have come together to honor and remember loved ones and take action for lifesaving change.
At Relay For Life, you'll find community members taking turns walking a path or a track lined with luminaria bags. You'll have the opportunity to cheer for local survivors (or participate as a survivor yourself) in the first lap of the day. Caregivers of cancer patients (currently or previously diagnosed) will then be invited to join the survivors. Local entertainers will keep you energized.
As it gets dark, the luminaria bags surrounding the track will be lit in a memorable luminaria ceremony.
