Obituary Letter to the editor ... Cancer touches us all Editor, The Herald: Is there anyone left out there whose life has not been touched by cancer? Most likely someone you know has had some form of the disease. Did you know that every June; Belfair comes together as a community to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, to remember loved ones lost to the disease and to fight back against the disease that takes too much? The North Mason Relay For Life is sponsored by the Ameri- can Cancer Society and will be held June 13 and 14 at the high- school track. It's a community thing. Find a relay team to join or start one in your neighbor- hood or at work. A full 100 per- cent of money raised by teams is used in the fight against cancer. Now is the time to get involved.
