Gwinnett County has the American Cancer Society's largest Relay for Life event in the USA. During his 17 years as a Gwinnett teacher, Knox Porter was a team captain and an active participant working in memory of his father, who had lung cancer, and in honor of his mother, a breast cancer survivor. Porter understands this disease more fully after treatments for prostate cancer were successful. Good health is promoted with a vision to create changes that will enable people to lead healthier and more productive lives. Medical research is supported to create a broad and enduring impact to combat diseases.
“Although the world is
full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”

Coach Ramos and I were colleagues for many years. He was a renowned
wrestling coach and a dedicated health teacher. Although we were very different
men, we found much unity in our diversity over time. Cliff was a faithful
friend who left us too early due to pancreatic cancer. His son, Trevor, is on
staff for FCA. After every communication, Trevor says that I encourage him.
Cliff would be proud that 4 of his retired colleagues are active enough to cross the finish line.
