Cameron and his family have been a part of Relay for Life of Logan
County for many years. As Cameron says: “I always love coming back
to the community whenever I can to help with so many great local
events and RFL is definitely on that list! I am honored to serve as
MC again this year and look forward to working with familiar faces.
Relay For Life holds a special place in my heart after we lost my
Grandma Blanche Kurtz in 2014. Through events like these, I can
honor her memory as well as celebrate the survivors, caregivers,
family and friends of so many that have triumphed over their
illnesses. Relay For Life events give all of us an overwhelming
amount of Hope and Pride!” Along with his ‘experiences’ he will also
be able to share some Logan County Relay history as we celebrate
this – our 21st year of Relay For Life in Logan County and for
survivors – “another birthday”.
