Christian County Relay for Life remembered those who have lost their battle to cancer and honored those who have won or who are still fighting at the annual Celebration of Life Tree Ceremony Saturday afternoon at Jennie Stuart Medical Center.
Relay Chair Pam Futrell is a two-time cancer survivor and noted the significance of the pinwheel ornaments on this year’s tree.
She says those battling cancer rely on their support system to fight.
The pinwheels carried the names of loved ones fighting or who have fought cancer. Members of the community paid $5 to put a name on the tree and got to take their ornament home after the service.
