The ambassadors for the 2009 Mills County Relay For Life share a common bond.

Vicki Bird, Marcia Keith and Sid Williams have found out first-hand how formidable of a foe cancer can be.

“When you see the survivors at the Relay For Life, it reminds you of how many people have been affected,” Bird said.
