\nThe 16 walkers who have signed up to walk in the Relay for Life include: Bob Grice, Brandi Grice, Theresa Pikschus, Zoe Prescott, Don Dickmeyer, Darin Armstrong, Rick Boldt, Londa Boeve, Denise Moeller, Jessica Moeller, Paul Straub, Dawn Straub, Deloma Cammarata, Dan Michalak, Jacque-Lyn Wright, and Chelsey Schaefer (who is a cancer survivor at age 27).

Bob Grice, UNMC project coordinator, is organizing the group. Sixteen walkers already have signed up to complete the relay, which begins at 7 p.m. on June 28 and ends at 7 a.m. on June 29. The team must have at least one walker at all times during the event.<\/p>\n

“This terrible disease affects so many; this is something we can do to help find a cure,” Grice said.<\/p>\n

Members of the group have begun their fund-raising efforts. For the remainder of this week, they’ll sell “suns” and “moons” outside of the Nebraska Caf\u00c3\u00a9 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The suns are in honor of those fighting cancer or of a cancer survivor, and the moons are in memory of someone lost to cancer. <\/p>\n

“The suggested donation is a dollar for each, and we will be sticking up the suns or moons along the wall behind the table,” Grice said. “We’re hoping many people will contribute.”<\/p>\n

In addition, the group will sell luminaries, small white bags filled with sand and a candle. During the relay, the luminaries are lighted around the track, representing hope for a cure and the fact that night is the hardest part for those who struggle with cancer. The luminaries are $5 apiece.<\/p>\n

“We’ll also have some other fund-raisers and various other events,” Grice said. “The cancer society has asked each of us to raise $100, and we plan to exceed that.”<\/p>\n

With questions, call Grice at 559-5261.<\/p>\nwxiAciNzsffQm n FLeghix<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
