Every day, cancer patients need rides to treatment. Some may not be able to drive themselves, and family and friends cannot always help. The American Cancer Society's Road To Recovery program provides rides to patients who have no way to get to their cancer treatment. Volunteers are always needed to be drivers for patients going to treatment. If you or someone you love gets cancer, you will have questions. The I Can Cope online classes can help you and your loved ones learn about cancer and how to take care of yourselves. The more you know about cancer, the better you can handle your treatment and decisions about your care.

Relay for Life - Thursday, May 29, 2014
Unique items featured at Henry County relay auction By DARLENE PRINCE
@cnDarlenePrince prince@crescent-news.com
NAPOLEON — With a lofty goal of $216,000 this year, the members of the Relay for Life of Henry County will be working hard to achieve their goal. Last year, according to cochairman Tina Myers, the relay raised over $208,000. There is now a history of competition between Henry Country and Williams County in fundraising for the relay, with both counties expected to raise more than $200,000 each this year. Myers said, “We have been No. 1 in the nation per capita for three years and we want to be No. 1 this year. Williams County is right on our tail so we have been pushing our teams all year to fund raise. They have always done that anyway. “I guess it was word of mouth that got the competition going between us,” she said. “We went to training sessions with them and other counties. We all share our fundraising ideas. We encourage each other to do well.” This year, Myers said the number of chairs in the “Chair-ity” auction will double. She is also encouraging people to come for the auction at 7:30 p.m. on Friday night, June 13. “We have a lot of items this year for the auction, and many of them are unique items,” she added. The Relay for Life of
Henry County will be held on Friday, June 13, and Saturday, June 14, at the Henry County Fairgrounds in Napoleon. Events will begin at 4:45 p.m. Friday with survivor registration. Opening ceremonies will begin at 6 p.m. The survivor reception will be at 6:15 p.m. Also at 6:15 p.m., a team lap with members carrying team posters will take place. Visitors will be entertained starting at 6:30 p.m. by a dance performance by Julie’s Dance Studio. Following the dance performance will be the live auction, with many items up for grabs. At 8:30 p.m., the bidding for the chairs in the “Chair-ity” auction will end. The first theme lap starts at 9 p.m. with Mickey and friends. At 10 p.m., the luminaria ceremony will be held. At midnight, the theme lap will be king and queen and court, followed by a team challenge at 12:30 a.m. Theme laps from 1-8 a.m. will include: Clue, military, football, bingo with a twist, Monopoly, Star Trek, and Power of Purple at 8 a.m. A Zumba exercise with Sweeney Fitness, LLC, will take place at 3:30 a.m. At 9 a.m., visitors will be able to see “Act your way to relay — team skits.” The final awards and fight back ceremony will be at 11:15 a.m. and the event will close at noon with walking the first lap for the 2015 relay.
