Cancer impacts more than just the person with it — from survivors, to caregivers to family members of those diagnosed, cancer can  influence anyone. Almost everyone touched by cancer seeks a way to help others. It’s the case for Wetumpka High School valedictorian Sydney Skipper. 

“My best friend's mom, which is, like, my mom's best friend, was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Skipper said. “I saw how others stepped in to help. I want to do that.”
