“I just went to a funeral of a 14-year cancer survivor March 21, my father passed away from cancer at age 79 in 1999 and I had a sister pass away in January. Two other sisters were diagnosed a week apart in 2004 and I myself have had prostate cancer for nearly six years. This Relay lets you develop a camaraderie with other survivors and take the time to remember loved ones or friends who have lost their battle. It also celebrates life.”
Wayne Sumner

“I did lie and cheat and steal my way through this, but that's 'Survivor,' ... You think it's just a game, but it's not like sitting in your living room playing Monopoly - it's about people and relationships.”
Ian Rosenberger
“We have not banned the word 'refugee,' ... We have used it along with 'evacuee,' 'survivor,' 'displaced' and various other terms that fit what our reporters are seeing on the ground. Webster's defines a refugee as a person fleeing 'home or country' in search of refuge, and it certainly does justice to the suffering legions driven from their homes by Katrina.”
