Relay For Life: Making A Difference

Almost everyone has been touched by cancer, either through his or her own personal battle or through someone they love. Just within my family and extended family, I know 9 people who have battled:

• My step-mother's other brother, Randy, who is a 3 month survivor of throat cancer

• My cousin, Kathy, who is a 5 month survivor of cervical cancer

• My step-mother's brother, Mike, who is a 9 month survivor of colon cancer

• My step-grandmother, Kitten, who is a 1-year survivor of breast & colon cancer.

• My mother-in-law, Sheri, who is a 3 year survivor of breast cancer

• My grandfather, Robert, who is a 6 year survivor of prostate cancer

• My aunt, Elaine, who is a 16 year survivor of breast cancer

• My aunt, Agnes, who is a 16 year survivor of cervical cancer

• My mother-in-law's aunt, Janis, who is a 21 year survivor of breast cancer

I am working to raise money for the American Cancer Society in honor of these people and many others we have met who are facing similar battles.

Every day, the American Cancer Society is helping us stay well by preventing cancer or finding it at its earliest, most treatable stages. They assist families in finding the best resources to help their friend or loved one deal with a diagnosis and their journey to get well. The American Cancer Society is also rallying communities (like ours!) through events like Relay For Life, to fight back and find cures for this disease. Please join my team or make a donation to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Together, we can help make sure that cancer never steals another year of anyone's life!

When I say that your support is more appreciated than you know, I speak on behalf of every soul who has lost their battle, every soul who may be battling right now, and every soul who may battle in the future. I speak on behalf of every soul who has been touched by cancer, and that volume is high. Thank you so much in advanced for your donation. Any amount, large or small, is greatly appreciated more than you know!
