Michiana family hosts festival to fight cancer

Posted:

A family festival in Granger set out to fight cancer.

The Charles R. Leonard Family Festival had pumpkins for sale, hay rides, a petting zoo and lots of food.

It's the seventh year for this fall festival, hosted by a family who has been touched by cancer in more ways than one.

Scott Leonard lost his 18 month old nephew to cancer and then his father just a few years ago.

"Now it's even more special to us and has more meaning. It's something that just needs to be done. Cancer affects everybody and everybody knows somebody and that's why we do it," says Leonard.

Over six years, the Leonard family has donated about $20,000 to the organization called Coaches vs Cancer.
