shut down things a little early in
the face of a steady rain that damp-
ened attendance at what was to be
another 24-hour event. Fund-rais-
ing efforts were also soaked, end-
ing seven years of growth in annual
revenue. Organizers said teams en-
tered in the Shelton Relay For Life
raised: $36,603 in 2000; $72,045.27
in 2001; about $104,000 in 2002;
about $147,000 in 2003; about
$127,000 in 2004; about $128,000 in
2005; about $161,172 in 2006; and
$118,597 this year.
The first-ever Relay For Life in
Mason County was held June 18-19,
1999 on the track at North Mason
High School in Belfair. A record of
proceeds from that event could not
be found, but revenues reported for
the years since then show some up
and down years. Organizers of the
Relay said teams walking the walk
in Belfair raised: about $62,000 in
2000; $70,676 in 2001; about $60,000
in 2002; "thousands of dollars" in
2003; about $27,000 in 2004; about
$41,000 in 2005; $42,486 in 2006;
and $30,236 this year. That adds up
to "thousands of dollars" more than
the $333,398 on record.
LISA BADE, communications
director for the Great West Division
of the American Cancer Society,
provided some of the numbers cited
.above and some information about
how the money is spent. To date
the ACS has spent $3.1 billion on
cancer research and has provided
financial support to 40 winners of
the Nobel Prize, the world's preemi-
nent award for scientists. These in-
clude two men who have done some
of their best science in Washington:
Dr. E. Donnall Thomas, a pioneer in
the transplantation of bone marrow
received the prize in 1990; and Dr.
Leland Hartwell, a celebrated inves-
tigator of cellular biology, received
the prize in 2001. Research funded
by the ACS has also helped develop
treatments for breast cancer and
prostate cancer and has identified
obesity as "an increased risk factor
for multiple cancer types."
A study by the Washington
Department of Health found that
there were an average of 364 new
cancer cases in Mason County dur-
ing the years 2000-2002 and an
average of 136 people here died of
cancer during the same period of
time. Of the 62 new cases of lung
cancer detected here on average, 52
proved to be fatal before the year
was done. Also reported were an
average of 56 new cases of breast
cancer, with seven deaths related
to this disease, and 52 new cases
of prostate cancer, with an aver-
age of three deaths in any given
year. There were 35 new cases of
colorectal cancer with 14 fatalities
and 20 new cases of melanoma of
the skin, but no fatalities.
ORGANIZERS OF THE Relay For Life in Shelton packed
up early this year due to inclement weather, but Nita
Warness kept on trucking around the running track at
