Relay For Life

Despite a low temperature that reached 19 degrees, the annual Relay For Life all-night walk around Bushyhead Track at Francis Field drew more than 2,000 participants March 3 to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Between laps, the warmly dressed participants got a bite to eat and took shelter inside tents. The national, overnight team event is designed to celebrate cancer survivorship and raise money for cancer research and programs. The WUSTL event raised more money than any other college participant in the nation, with more than $288,668.
