Together the trio forms part of the leadership team for Texas State's Relay for Life -- a non-profit organization that focuses on cancer awareness. The group also raises funds for education, research and advocacy. All three are devoted to Relay for Life. Their passion runs deep.

All the hours of planning and fundraising that Anisah, Stephanie and Marina have gone through since August will come to fruition tomorrow night during Relay for Life's final event -- a seven-hour festivity filled with games and celebration. The event honors the millions of people affected by cancer. For Bobcat Update, I'm Anthony Balladares.
