The Trimble
County Relay for Life happened on Friday June 14, 2013. The weather was perfect
for cancer survivors, caretakers, and family members to celebrate life and honor
the memory of loved ones in the Relay for Life. There were close to 150 people
at the event that went on from Friday night at 7pm to 7am Saturday morning.
The event took
place at the Bedford Elementary School on Mount Pleasant Road in Bedford, KY.
While many survivors were making relays for life, local citizens, churches, and
businesses set up booths to sell food, jewelry, hand-made crochet, cosmetics, handbags,
etc. in efforts to raise money for the fight against cancer.
Caregiver
Charlotte Vincent explained her favorite part of the relay as a, “Wonderful way
to make a donation for people who are going through this and who have gone
through this.”
Organizer Jackie
Armstrong said “Being able to honor the survivors and caregivers and
remembering the lost ones,” is what she liked most about the event.
Tasha Burkhardt
said, “The people talking to all the survivors and all the participants,” is
what she likes about the relay for life.
