Rockford, Mich. (WZZM) - Thousands of people walked to raise money for cancer research this weekend.
Rockford was one of four Kent County cities holding Relay for Life events. Wyoming, East Grand Rapids and Comstock Park also held rundraising events.
Saturday, more than 250 cancer survivors took part in Rockford's survivor's ceremony. Our own Juliet Dragos emceed the ceremony.
The survivors then did one lap around the track.
The American Cancer Society also held registration for the Cancer Prevention Study Three, or CPS-3 at the Rockford Relay event.
Organizers say they used up all of the registration packets, 472 people signed up to take part in the 30 year study.
