MUM Relay Team Sets Record

Miami Middletown's 2006 Relay for Life team raised more than $6,000 for cancer research, surpassing their 2005 total. This is the second year the team has achieved gold team standing -- collecting between $5,000- $9,999.

This year's theme was the Hollywood-inspired "Hopewood." Following in this spirit, MUM's team used a 101 Dalmatians theme as they "barked their way to a cure." MUM has been involved with Relay for Life for the last nine years.

The 2006 Miami Middletown Relay for Life team included: (seated, from left) Lois Lafayette, Tyra Day, Tammy Lewis, Wanita Hatton, Ashley Puckett, Lisa McGuire, (standing, from left) Carol Danner, Ruth Orth, Carol Caudill, Mary Knedler, Susan Cheek, Debbie Smith, Betty Haney, Brad Farr, Ben Filla and Dawn Presta.
