Exercise has long been known to reduce a person’s risk for getting cancer, and walking is often one of the easiest ways to exercise.

Hundreds, potentially more than a thousand, people will walk during the 2013 Mills County Relay for Life. The event runs from 4 p.m. June 1 to 8 a.m. June 2 at Ram Memorial Field in Glenwood. Leading the event will be four Relay for Life ambassadors - Bob Blasi of Glenwood, Mary May of rural Silver City, Mary Renze of Glenwood and Roger Wyant of Malvern.
