Hundreds of local residents will join the fight against cancer this weekend in the Marengo Basin’s Relay for Life event held by the American Cancer Society. The annual 24-hour event will be held at the Twentynine Palms Junior High School on April 5, beginning with the opening ceremony at 9 a.m., ending at 9 a.m. on the following day. Participants have been raising money for their respective teams through various fundraisers and pledges, and will continue to do so during the event by selling items and food, setting up games, and walking laps for their pledges. Money raised during the event will be used to fund cancer research as well as supporting programs such as “Look Good, Feel Better” and the “Road to Recovery” Programs.
