CONWAY — Jack Loynd has coached several great teams over the years, but his best was over this spring and summer when he created Team Camden 192, which brought the community together to raise funds to support cancer research and recovery. Team Camden, named in honor of Jackson resident Camden Bailey, a senior at Kennett High School, who continues to inspire everyone he meets after his battle with cancer.

Loynd, 67, of Jackson, came up with the idea of putting a team together for the annual Pan-Mass Challenge to raise $20,000 over the summer. He and others easily surpassed that mark, raising roughly $23,000 for cancer research. You can still donate up until Oct. 1.
