The 2009 Relay for Life at Riverview High School in Hillsborough County, Fla., raised more than $100,000, according to event organizers. The event officially starts with a lap featuring cancer survivors, including Roseanne Reynolds, above.
"Three weeks I've been in remission and hopefully I'll keep on being in remission," said Reynolds, who attended the Relay for Life at Riverview High because of an invitation from her sister Mary Grace Farina, a teacher at the school. With Reynolds, she said, are her "caregivers," daughters, Cara, left, and Tiffany, and nephew Anthony "Tony" Griffin.
"It's very emotional [being at the Relay], seeing all the survivors and the people who are still fighting," Rosanne Reynolds said. "You feel good that you're not alone in all this."
Her daughters had their own thoughts as well.
"At the time she was going through it, it seemed really surreal," Tiffany Reynolds said. "But watching her walk up there with all the other cancer survivors, it really hit me that it was something we went through together and it made me feel good it's something we all got through together."
Added Cara: "I kind of always knew my mother was going to be okay and I didn't worry too much. But it's just good to know she is okay and things will be okay."
