More than 500 people turned out for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life in Wilbraham Saturday. The relay was held at the Wilbraham-Monson Academy.

The event helped raise more than 50 thousand dollars for Cancer research. Last year, more than 34 thousand people living in Massachusetts were diagnosed with Cancer. "Four months ago I could barely get out of bed. It's a miracle I'm here I wanted to do everything to fight back," said Dr. Hamdani of Wilbraham.

22News Reporter Jackie Ibanez was the emcee for Saturday's Relay for Life event in Wilbraham.
