In September 2014, Greg, a former Canton resident, was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent successful surgery but infection set in.
He is being treated at Arnot Ogden Medical Center in Elmira and the Cleveland Clinic.
Greg is a registered nurse at Arnot-Ogden, and his wife Jamie is a secretary there. During Greg's course of treatment, three blocked arteries were discovered in Jamie's heart. One was 95% blocked and the other two 50%.
Dick's Dice Run originally was titled Dick's Poker Run, and was begun to help Dick Austin, Jamie's father, who was fighting colon cancer. He passed away in 2012.
The race was held June 7 beginning and ending at Hickory House in Pine Valley, NY.
