Proceeds help the center provide free services that mean so much to cancer clients and their caregivers.
"You know, it's hard to put into words without a long speech, but comforting, caring, and supportive. That's my description of being a client here," Walk Co-Chair and Client Amy Andrejko stated.
"Oh, tremendous event. So happy to have the weather agree with us, and this has been a record turnout for us this year, but always happy to be here at this event, and I realize that I made it another year," Cancer Survivor and Client, Dolphus Teart, said.
This marks the 28th year for the annual walk in Luzerne County to help cancer patients and their caregivers.
