PHOTOS: Ramsey Relay Honors 'Million Dollar Man'
The annual event hit its donation goal of $1 million, and was dedicated to the late Ramsey High School principal who helped start it.
Though Tropical Storm Andrea caused some changes to the original lineup for Ramsey’s Sixth Annual Relay for Life Friday night, participants were not fazed.
Hundreds walked inside Ramsey High School to help celebrate the lives of cancer survivors, honor the lives of those who have passed from cancer, and raise money for the American Cancer Society.
This year’s Relay honored late RHS Principal Rich Lio, who retired last year and died last week. Lio helped bring Relay to Ramsey.

Participants in this year’s Relay dedicated it to Lio, who they said always had the goal of raising $1 million for the ACS. Because the event hit that goal this year – so far, this Relay raised over $191,000 this year, and well over $1 million since it began six years ago – Lio was dubbed the “Million Dollar Man” at this year’s event.
