Newman’s quest for answers led her to Mayo Clinic

Posted on April 20, 2016

With Taylor County’s Relay For Life arriving this weekend, the American Cancer Society has selected Deidra McRory Newman to serve as honorary chair of this year’s event, sharing honors with honorary youth chair Nicole Myers.

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s national signature event and is as much an awareness raiser as a fundraiser. This family-oriented team event brings participants from all parts of the community together in a “celebration of life.” Businesses, civic clubs, churches, friends and families take turns walking and running in relay fashion while they also celebrate the critical role the American Cancer Society plays in the fight against cancer.
