Anderson’s Relay for Life Kickoff

Photo Slide Show

Anderson, Indiana May 22, 2009 – Today at Town Center in Anderson, Indiana Mayor Kris Ockoman, in conjunction with Community Hospital, St. Johns Hospital, Elder Beerman, and Wal-Mart, joined forces to let everyone know that Relay For Life is coming next month, June 16th at Highland High School from 6:00 p.m. to noon on Saturday.

Cancer has caused more deaths than all the wars of the world combined. In the U.S. alone, every 60 seconds, someone dies from cancer. Who Gets Cancer? According to the American Cancer Society, "Over one million people get cancer each year. About 1 out of every 2 American men and 1 out of every 3 American women will have some type of cancer at some point during their lifetime. Anyone can get cancer at any age; but about 77% of all cancers are diagnosed in people age of 55 and older. Cancer can be found in Americans of all racial and ethnic groups, but the rate of cancer occurrence (called the incidence rate) varies from group to group.”

To get more information about the upcoming Relay for Life in Madison County call the local office at 642-6603.
