"Dr. Manning told me, 'well, you're cancer free,'" Morgan said.
But before the molecular cell lymphoma survivor left the hospital's cancer center, she didn't know what she would do next.
"I said, 'well, what do I do now?' He said, 'well you go up there and volunteer,'" Morgan said.

Sherry Jackson is also a cancer survivor and co-founded the Friends of the Cancer Center Ribbon Walk and Ride in Fayetteville. Teams of survivors and supporters will flood downtown streets this weekend for the eighth annual walk.
