5/8/14 - An inspiring event that allows the community to take action and fight back against cancer kicks off in Brighton Friday evening. The Relay for Life movement benefits the American Cancer Society, with several events held throughout Livingston County. They offer an opportunity to honor cancer survivors, promote how individuals can reduce their cancer risk, and raise money to help end the fight against cancer. The Brighton Relay for Life will get underway at 6pm Friday at the newly renovated Brighton High School track and one large aspect is the luminaria ceremony. Luminaria bags and candles are dedicated to those who have battled or are currently battling cancer and are lit up around the track. The theme of the 24-hour Brighton relay event this year is destination so every tent around the track will be a destination of some kind, whether real or imaginary. Last yearâs Brighton event raised 104,000 and the goal this year is $115,000. The public is encouraged to come out and support the event during the course of the 24-hours. It starts at 6pm this Friday and will feature food, games, music and entertainment along with fitness activities and stuff for kids. Complete event information can be found in the link below. (JM)
