On
Sept. 26, 100 cancer survivors - joined by Michigan's First Lady Michelle
Engler, Mrs. Cathy Schembechler and Mrs. Laurie Carr - took the field with the
Michigan Marching Band during a pre-game rally at the Michigan Stadium to raise
awareness of cancer issues. The marchers, representing all ages and types of
cancers, formed the international sign "against" as the band played
"Lean On Me." Planes circling overhead carried banners encouraging
people to become advocates in the fight against cancer. The stadium announcer
reminded fans that only one penny out of every $10 we send to Washington, D.C.,
is spent on cancer research. When the marchers left the field, the crowd of more
than 110,000 chanted along with the U-M cheerleaders "No More Cancer!"
