“This race began six years ago with only fifty employees running around our parking lot, and now we’ve tripled attendance in the previous two years – it’s nothing less than astounding,” said Chris Lybeer, president of Radiant’s retail division and chair of the Georgia Cancer Foundation. “I am so proud of everyone at Radiant and the Georgia Cancer Foundation who volunteer their time, money and energy to support, honor and memorialize loved ones that have been affected by cancer.”
