W 042817 RELAY FOR LIFE 01
Wilma Hill, 68, right, and Kathy Allen, 75, enjoy one another's company as they hitch a ride for the traditional Survivors' Walk to kick off the 2017 Relay for Life at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds Friday. Hill is a one-year cancer survivor and Allen is a 29-year survivor.
They rocked in chairs under a tent, enjoying the cool breeze from fans as they swapped stories about their individual battles with cancer. Senior citizens rubbed elbows with teenagers and young adults from all walks of life, each different but with one thing in common; they survived the deadly disease. Many continue the fight.
