relay for lifeThe Northern Dallas County Relay for Life event takes place this weekend.

The annual fundraiser for the American Cancer Society was moved from June to October this year in hope participants will be able to enjoy the cooler fall temperatures.  He says this year’s event will be fall festival themed with football events, caramel apples and trick-or-treating.

That’s Co-chair Gary Iles who says the 17 teams in the area have been holding various fundraisers over the last 16 months, everything from breakfasts to pet events and school dances.

Unfortunately, Iles says cancer is something that impacts all of us either directly or in directly which is why he encourages everyone to come do their part to help.

The Relay takes place at the Kaufman track at Perry High School Saturday starting at 11am.  We’ll have more with Iles on tomorrow’s Let’s Talk Dallas County on AM 1310 KDLS.
