Loganville Residents Invited to ‘Relay for Ray’ In Honor of Mayor Battling Cancer

At the March City Council meeting, Loganville City Manager Bill Jones handed Mayor Ray Nunley a shirt featuring the name of the city's team in the 2013 Walton County Relay for Life. The name of the team – Relay for Ray.

Nunley broke the news of his cancer diagnosis in November 2012. He has been undergoing treatment in his battle with lung cancer ever since. On Jan. 14, Nunley announced during his State of the City address that he would not be seeking another term. Despite a rigorous treatment schedule, Nunley has continued to attend most city council meetings.

Jones said Relay for Ray was a good way for the community to support the mayor in his battle.

"We wanted to ask folks to join us tonight as we put together this team to honor our mayor in his battle with cancer," Jones said. "We do this on April 26."

The Relay for Ray team will participate in the 2013 Relay for Life of Walton County at 7 p.m. April 26 and Monroe Area High School, 300 Double Springs Church Road, Southwest, Monroe.
