Many people enter Relay for Life, but four-time pancreatic cancer survivor Dana Richardson is paddling for it. Richardson, a teacher at Chestatee High School, will spend the next several months paddling the entire shoreline of Lake Lanier for Relay for Life. She began the trek Wednesday at Don Carter State Park in Gainesville shortly after meeting her initial fundraising goal.
