Taking a stand Area event marks 15th year in fight against cancer By JERIANNE STRANGEGlasgow Daily Times The local Relay has a fundraising goal of $180,000. As of late Friday afternoon, nearly $11,000 had already been raised.
Kinsman has taken to the track as part of a church team in the past. This is his first year in a leadership role. “It’s a wonderful night,” he said. “The entire community supports this; they all come together for one cause.” For him, the event is also very personal. His parents are both cancer survivors. Ryan Witt, his7-year-old neighbor – and his daughter’s best friend – has been fighting cancer for more than a year. And Carroll Benedict, who owned Benedict and Benedict Oil, was a special friend who lost his fight. “I do Relay in honor of my parents,” Kinsman said. “And in a show of support for Ryan Witt and in honor of Mr. Benedict.” The money raised at Relay saves lives by funding cancer research, promoting early detection and prevention education, advocacy efforts and patient services.
