Cancer survivors, caregivers and community members turned out in droves Friday evening to support the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life at the Liberty County Recreation Department track. Karen Bell, the 2014 Liberty County Relay for Life committee chair, said she was pleased with both the show of support from the community and this year’s committee’s performance.“It’s never a single-person effort — it takes a committed team, and we have a great committee this year,” Bell said. According to the ACS website, 47 teams and 420 participants helped raise more than $76,000 to support research and raise cancer awareness.
