GLASGOW — This year’s Relay for Life of Barren County was again a success. The night of the event was emotional and inspiring. There were some nice twists added this year, such as having the contestants in the womanless beauty pageant round the track looking for donations. It was a quick way to raise more money and a great way to chose the pageant winner. Plus, it was highly entertaining.

Every dollar counts in the pursuit to find a cure for cancer. We’ve nearly all been touched by effects of cancer, either through family members or friends. It seems almost inescapable.

But there are doctors and researchers who believe they are getting closer to finding ways to combat the disease. A cure for cancer — at least methods for effectively containing the disease that are less debilitating than present ones — is greatly anticipated.

We certainly appreciate the tireless efforts of volunteers for Relay for Life each year locally and those nationwide. The millions of dollars donated each year push us closer to breaking one of the most dreaded diseases.

We believe those efforts will continue until a cure is found.
