RT a ERR SIE ANDIE BRYMER / HERALD Maxine Bennett, right, helps cancer survivor Barbara Adams put her hand print and name on a banner during Relay for Life. RELAY From 1A “A lot of the money has not been turned in because of the rain,” Whitesides said. Scheduled to finish at 11 a.m. Saturday, officials called the event at 8 a.m. Rain began at 1:45 a.m., according to Whitesides. “You have to do what's in the best interest of the walk- ers,” she said. Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey welcomed a crowed of around 1,000 dur- ing Friday night's opening ceremonies. “We have a lot of good volunteers in Kings Mountain,” Murphrey said. Both his wife Sandra Murphrey and his father are cancer survivors. Rev. Chip Sloane of First Baptist Church led the open- ing prayer, remembered friends who had died from cancer and noted improve- ments made in treatment of the disease. Cindy Roberts sang the national anthem. “Overall it went very, very good,” Whitesides said. “The prettiest thing was the luminary service “ with ‘hope’ spelled out on the hill.” The luminaries are pur- chased in memory and honor of people dealing with cancer. Teams representing churches, businesses, fami- lies, friends and the City of Kings Mountain set up tents and campers, sold food and sponsored fundraising activ- ities while bands played on stage. Survivors gathered under a tent at the entrance to the walking track. Dorus Bennett was among those. “I come out like the rest, to fight cancer. The main idea is to get all the money we can for research,” he said. Proceeds also benefit local programs which assist indi- viduals with cancer. BRYSON From 1A While some disabled indi- viduals work in sheltered programs, Hall likes getting Bryson out in the communi- ty. Hall says Bryson and his parents are proud of the work he is doing.
