Relay For Life participants give, gain a little inspiration

CHAMPAIGN – Some were walking sprightly, others kind of dragging. Some were pushed in wheelchairs, others pulled in wagons. But the approximately 200 people who walked the survivors lap at the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life on Saturday evening were all smiling.

"We're survivors," yelled Angela Page, 45, of St. Joseph, pumping her fist in the air. She and her husband Jim Page, 54, pulled their 4-year-old son Will in a wagon around the track at Centennial High School in Champaign.
