 Cancer is a disease that affects so many people, whether they have gone through it themselves or friend or family member has had it. Sailors at Fleet Activity Saucebow gather at Nimitz Park for a run to raise awareness for those going through the fight. I think it helps give them hope, you know, seeing that all these people are here in support of them. Fighting this courageous battle is just having to go through this every day and struggle and they see all these people out here for them. I've had some shipmates that have gone through cancer and having them, you know, watch them go through the whole process with the chemo and everything like that. This run means a lot to me to kind of honor what they've gone through and still be in the Navy and do what they need to do. I had a friend that died from cancer and every year I remember him whenever Cancer Awareness Month comes around. Cancer Awareness Month is a time to commemorate those who have battled and continue to battle this disease. Seaman James Hunt, Fleet Activities Saucebow, Japan.
