Above, Sue Tymoczko of Lewiston brings her sign of hope and healing Friday to the Dempsey Challenge customer service tent in Lewiston.

Tymoczko has participated in the annual walk since 2009. The retired Edward Little High School teacher walked with her husband, Bob, in 2009 and 2010. He died of cancer in 2011, the same year his daughter made the sign Sue Tymoczko is holding. She has walked in each challenge since and will participate Saturday with her 11-person team T&T+.
