It was an inspirational event celebrating survivorship, camaraderie and hope, said organizer Judith Ramirez, the Tunnell Cancer Center social worker.

The event began at Epworth United Methodist Church on Baltimore Avenue. Opening remarks were made by Jeffrey M. Fried, President and CEO of Beebe Medical Center, Jo Wilkins, Director of the Sussex County Wellness Center, and Dr. Pramod A. Vadlamani of the Tunnell Cancer Center.
