Share your story.
If Judi Laurence were to offer any advice to someone facing a cancer diagnosis, this would be it. As the honorary survivor at the Relay for Life in Crow Wing County this weekend, Laurence will share her story and encourage others to do the same, as a way to work through the emotional pain.
Laurence and event organizer Mary Crenna, also a cancer survivor, stopped by the Brainerd Dispatch to share their passion for the fundraising event supporting the American Cancer Society. Visit www.brainerddispatch.com/news/4298474-relay-life-cancer-survivor-gains-strength-shunning-silence to read Renee Richardson's story on the two, and visit www.relayforlife.org/crowwingmn for more information or to donate.
