Century Relay Teams Meet; Video Now Available From Previous Two Events
September 29, 2009
Century Relay for Life held an Early Bird Party Monday night for teams to register for the 2010 event.
For Paula Jernigan, last year’s event chair, the day also marked a significant day in her life — September 28 was the date she was told she only had one or two years to live from her cancer. That was nine years ago Monday.
“I’m still here,” she said, “because of research.”
“All the money in the world will not protect you from cancer,” Event Chair Susan Diamond said. “Research is our hope….every dime we raise, every step we take goes toward that goal of research.”
A video produced by NorthEscambia.com with pictures from the past two years of Century Relay was debuted at the meeting. Watch the video at the bottom of this page. Copies of the video are available for purchase on DVD for $20, with all proceeds going toward Relay for Life. Email news@northescambia.com to order.
Persons interested in forming a team for the Century Relay can do so at the next team event at 7 p.m. on October 26 at the Century Ag Building on West Highway 4. Teams can also register online at CenturyRelay.com.

To all the survivors of cancer and the ones that are still fighting ,just remember to keep your hands in GOD’S hand and everything will be alright. I have lost a grandfather behind cancer and a sister inlaw that survived it, and guess what he was a saved man and he is in heaven now, and she still lives to tell her story. Now thats what i call a blessing from GOD. Luv you all and stay strong.
Just a reminder — while it is the “Century Relay”, teams from across the area are welcome. There were teams last year from Bratt, Walnut Hill, McDavid and others. And they will back again this year. Flomaton teams are more than welcome and encouraged to participate too. At least one Flomaton team is already committed.
It’s not about Century — It just happens to be named the “Century Relay”. So sign up! Email news@northescambia.com or visit CenturyRelay.com for more info.
NICE VIDEO , FROM FLOMATON AL………….. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK……..
Well Ms. Paula I did not know that you had cancer in the past. Congrats on being a great person and a survivor. With love.
