The Survivors’ Lap was followed by a Caregivers’ Lap, and then hundreds of others took turns walking around the track at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds, doing their part to raise money for promoting awareness and seeking a cure for the deadly disease that affects almost everyone, whether it be family members, friends or themselves.Johnny Lamb, 71, from Oak Park, was diagnosed with squama cell cancer in October.
