Cancer victims' families striding toward a cure

For Seymour resident Terri Brown, Relay for Life is more than a fundraiser.

When Brown’s 14-month-old granddaughter was diagnosed with brain cancer, her family became involved, creating the team Bayon’s Believers in her granddaughter’s name.

Brown’s co-workers at Schneck Medical Center teamed with the family, adding to the corps of volunteers that make up Bayon’s Believers.

Just 2 years old, Bayon passed away a year after her diagnosis. Brown said she was just too young to fight the aggressive tumors.

“It was four years ago March 3 that she died,” Brown said.
