Ending the week, Friday, May 11, features the annual American Cancer Society's Relay for Life run/walk at the Lion's Club Fairgrounds. CCH staff will be present all night for the event, and they will have a booth selling homemade baked goods and baked sweet potatoes "with all the fixin's."

In addition, raffle tickets and purple bows helping "paint Lee County purple" are being sold by CCH staff and free prostate screening exams will be offered from 5-7 PM.
