Thousands of people will lace up their walking shoes and walk down a pathway lined with candle-lit luminaries to remember those who have survived or lost their battles with cancer this weekend at the Grape Festival Grounds.
The 10th annual Relay for Live, a 24-hour walk, will start at 9 a.m. today. More than 40 teams have held fundraisers throughout the year and will have booths at the event to raise money. All of the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society to support research and programs to help those battling the disease.
