The Rex Lee Run Against Cancer is a strong annual tradition at BYU. The run was originally organized in 1996 in honor of BYU President Rex E. Lee who passed away that year as a result of cancer. Now in its 19th year, the run continues to be put on by the BYU Cancer Awareness Group, a student club of those who are interested in raising public awareness about cancer, assisting those who are dealing with this illness, and seeking cures for this disease by raising money for cancer research. All proceeds go to fund cancer research fellowships at the BYU Cancer Research Center.
Stephanie, Selleka, Syvanna, and Ryker all got permission to sleep in Ronald's room with him last night before the race. They had a great time in suite 4550.
