Cancer has no boundries and can affect anyone one of us. Katie's passion for her work might be a result of both her mom and dad each having cancer. Relay for Life of North Snohomish County is scheduled for July 14-15 from 12 pm to 8 am at Asbery Field in Marysville. You can join the Relay for Life event by going to their website at RelayforLife.org/NorthSnohomishCoWA. With every dollar raised, we are helping the American Cancer Society be there for those affected by every cancer in every community, including those who are currently dealing with a cancer diagnosis and those who may face a diagnosis in the future. Some maybe able to avoid a diagnosis altogether because of education and risk reduction. Katie has been with the American Cancer Society for three years. She got involved after helping her mom's Relay team raise almost $12,000 in the first year. Research grants in the Seattle area amount to $13.2 million dollars. Now her dad has cancer and will never be cured but is enrolled in a clinical trial. Last year, the organization decided to make Relay for Life a county-wide effort. Katie graduated from Washington State University in 2009 with a BA in Journalism and Communications and a Minor in English with an emphasis on the Sciences.
