Cancer
survivors took to the field with the Michigan Marching Band
on Saturday, September 26, during the half time of the Michigan-Michigan
State football game. The marchers, representing a wide range
of ages and types of cancers, stood with band members as they
formed the ideographic "forbidden" symbol and led
the fans in a rousing repeated chant of "No more cancer!"
as they left the field.
The night before, more than 300 people who have lost family
members and friends to cancer joined together in a candle lighting
memorial at the front entrance of the U-M Comprehensive Cancer
Center to remember those family members and friends and to enter
their names in a book of remembrance to be maintained at the
Center. The memorial ceremony was one of many "Candle Lightings
for Hope and Remembrance" held across the nation that evening.
