Copper Country Relay for Life honors, remembers those who battle cancer



The American Cancer Society Copper Country Relay for Life luminaria (illuminated bags) -- each one bearing the name of someone who has battled cancer -- line the Houghton High School track during the evening ceremonies on Friday, June 24. Cancer survivors also leave a 2011 handprint to record their survival to this year. A flaming torch honors those who have not survived. (Video clip courtesy Allan Baker)
