Description
Lets RELAY! The Lyon County Relay for Life Event is Thursday August 18th. In partnership with Sounds of Summer & The City of Marshall's 150th Anniversary - Relay for Life will kick off the festivities!
The pandemic had a devastating impact on life-saving cancer screening rates, which dropped by 90% for some cancers. Relay plays a vital part of reminding millions of people that timely screenings help catch cancer when it’s most treatable as well as supporting research and other services.
