Last year, the American Cancer's Society's Relay for Life came in more than 180 percent above goal, but for the fifth annual event in Jasper, April 25-26, they aspire to even greater heights.

"Leading the fight against cancer," the Relay has had more than three million participants and raised more than $351 million dollars.
