The Champanys started the race/walk after losing their daughter-in-law Laurie to breast cancer. The race began in 2008 when Laurie's cancer had come back again, said Bev Champany. She fought breast cancer for 10 years. "We know walk and run in her honor since she was called home to heaven in March 2010," she said.
