The day will begin with a short ceremony, followed by a walk for cancer survivors and another for caregivers. At 9 p.m. Saturday, hundreds of luminaria surrounding the track will be lit in honor of cancer victims, both living and deceased. For Pat Hoffman, the weekend will be difficult. She'll think about what a wonderful father Scott was to his three children, how he rooted for Philadelphia sports teams, his love of golf and his wry sense of humor. And she'll think about how cancer changed their lives together so dramatically.
Nobody knows what they go through until it hits so close to home.
