Two-time cancer survivor Kristy Zane says Relay for Life event has taken on a new meaning

Ever since Kristy Zane was diagnosed with cancer in 2004, her
life has changed. She says it has been for the better. She has had
the opportunity to see how kind people can be. She has witnessed
the depth of her husband's love. And she has had the chance to
share her experience with others to provide support and
encouragement. She's not sorry, because she has learned so many
life lessons, she said.
She has now been cancer-free for four years, and spends her time
speaking to others and volunteering her time for the American
Cancer Society. On Saturday, the 55-year-old Lodi resident will be
volunteering her time at the eighth annual Relay for Life event at
the Lodi Grape Festival Grounds.

Kristy's always been a strong woman. So good to know she's sharing that strength with others who need it.
