North Mason Relay for Life

I was sent to photograph Relay for Life.  The mood was upbeat and the color was purple.

Cancer survivor Colleen O’Brien (77) and her caregiver John Kannitzer participate in the survivors lap at north mason relay for life sponsored by the American Cancer Society on Friday (More info on Colleen, dx with breast cancer and double mastectomy in 1977, then dx with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1992, she was given 10 years to live in 1992)
