Portsmouth supports Relay for Life
Each year, the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life unites communities in the fight against cancer. Teams from the Elizabeth River chapter met at Portsmouth City Park to honor survivors and caregivers, pay tribute to lives lost and fight back against the disease. The two-day event featured children's activities, a candlelight ceremony and a survivors' victory walk.
