BILLINGS - According to an American Cancer Society estimate, more than 5,500 Montanans will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in 2012.
That estimate represents an overall growth in the spread of cancer-a disease the American Cancer Society commonly says has touched you or someone you know directly.
For 21-year-old Leon Wieder of Arlee, Montana that person was his aunt, who struggled for 9-years in a battle with cancer.
Following her death in 2010, Wieder has dedicated himself to a unique project which raises awareness and money to fight deadly disease.
