Oxford community supports fight against cancer

Cancer survivors lead the first lap of the Relay for Life event.

Oxford held its annual Relay For Life event last Friday, April 29th. The event helps raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society. This year over $34,000 was raised.

This event is also meant to honor those who have fought or are fighting the disease. Many participants at the event wore "Ryan's #1 Team" signs to show support for a local community member battling cancer.
