A survivor

Giving the thumbs up, Bridan Russett, 3, of Dunvegan, Ontario, rides atop the shoulders of his dad, Brian, during the cancer survivors' march that kicks off the annual Relay for Life, a 12-hour walkathon that raises money for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Bridan was one of the youngest cancer survivors who took part in the emotion-charged opening. He also was the epitome of the theme of the event: Celebrate, remember, fight back.
