Community members fight back and remember BY LAURA KATAUSKAS STAFF REPORTER @BOLINGBROOKINFO little rain wasn’t going to stop them. Surviving cancer is a feat that deserved celebrating, and that’s just what nearly 250 people set out to do during the 2015 Relay for life in bolingbrook last weekend. “we fought cancer, we can certainly fight a little rain.” that was the sentiment as survivors and caregivers took their first lap trudging through the rain with smiles on their faces in the annual event meant to raise awareness. the village of bolingbrook celebrated its annual Relay for life may 30, bringing together a community to fight back against cancer and raising money to fund research for a cure. teams set out on a mission to have one member of their team walk the course for 24 hours straight. Awareness is exactly why 22-year-old Jimmy Reszke came out to speak and be part of the celebration. A survivor of testicular cancer, Reszke, told his story of both despair and triumph. After suffering a pain that demanded attention, he sought treatment, was diagnosed and endured six rounds of chemotherapy. see
