Cancer Survivor Promotes Relay for Life

A young cancer survivor is encouraging people to support Relay for Life.

Madisyn Degagne is heading up a team for the Fort Frances event.

She says it's important for her give back to the Canadian Cancer Society.

"Experiencing cancer first hand and the overwhelming support of the community here in Fort Frances, I just really wanted to make an effort to give back," says Degagne, "because so many people have been affected by cancer."

Degagne's team includes several of her friends that make the team Pink Attitoode - Second Generation for the June 25 event.
