2003 Honorary Chairperson
Peg Knudson, Detroit Lakes, Minn.
The Home Run is an organized way to focus on the people in our lives who have lived with, or are currently living with cancer.
"I think the focused effort of planning to participate in the Home Run is a great way to keep the memory alive of my dad and continue to hope for more cancer survivors like my mom."
