5/14/13 - Two events this weekend in Livingston County will both have the same focus; celebrating cancer survivors while raising money for research and services. Separate Relay for Life events will be held at Brighton High School starting at 7pm Friday and then at Hartland High School starting Saturday at 9am. Both of the 24-hour gatherings will raise money for the American Cancer Society for services and research. The Brighton Relay for Life will take place at Brighton High School, but due to the ongoing construction it has been temporarily moved to a makeshift track set up in the schoolâs parking lot. Organizer Rick Beaudin says that wonât deter them from all of the usual hallmarks of the event, including a Survivorâs Lap to start things off and then a luminary ceremony at dusk to both remember those lost to cancer and those still in the fight. Hartlandâs Relay for Life will also feature those signature events. Beaudin says heâs particularly excited about a special fundraiser Saturday at noon in Brighton featuring legendary Detroit Lions kicker Eddie Murray hosting a football clinic for a $5 charge.
