Minister to Camp in Cold to Benefit Relay For LifeMinister to Camp in Cold to Benefit Relay For Life

3/5/14 - A Pinckney church's Relay for Life team will be getting a boost again this year as the minister braves the cold for the cause. This will be the fourth year Reverend Lynn Martin holds her Camp Out for the Cure effort to raise funds for the relay. On March 14th, from 8:00am to midnight, Martin will camp out on the front lawn of the Pinckney Community Congregational United Church of Christ. She says the vigil attracts a lot of attention and sympathy, prompting people to donate to the church's Relay for Life team, PCC Walks the Walk, which in turn gives the money to the relay to support cancer research. Martin says donations came in from sources as far away as California and Ohio last year, totaling about $4,500. Martin says she never sits by herself, and friends, family, or passersby tend to stay with her as she makes smores and tries to keep warm while camping out. The Brighton Relay for Life will be held on May 9th and 10th this year at Brighton High School. To donate to Martin's team or get more information on the event, click on the link below (TD)
