Relay For Life: Let's battle Cancer

Andrew and I are participating in the Relay for life this year in Lake Tahoe. I would like to dedicate my walk to my Aunt Barbara. She just successfully battled her second fight with cancer! She is a very strong woman, and hopefully someday there will be a cure so that more mothers, daughters, and sisters don't have to fight the same battle. Andrew is walking for a co-worker who just lost his battle with brain cancer. We have both set a donation goal of $500. Please help us reach and exceed this goal. You can see out Relay Page at http://main.acsevents.org/site/TRC/RelayForLife/RFLFY09GW?pg=peditor&fr_id=14781&px=10689588


This year, hundreds of thousands of people will hear the words "You have cancer", and there's a good chance that some of them will be people we know and love. We have all been touched by cancer in some way ... and we all have the power to make a difference. That's why I have chosen to fight back right here in my own community by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®.

I want to invite you to join me in the fight against cancer by making a donation in support of my efforts. Further down in this message is a link to my personal Relay For Life® web page where you can make an online contribution. Every amount, no matter how small, makes a difference and provides hope. You can also sign up to join my team and learn more about Relay and how it's changing lives.

Relay For Life® brings more than 3.5 million people from across the country together each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much. This fun-filled, overnight event empowers everyone to help fight cancer by raising money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society's lifesaving mission.

Thank you in advance for your support. Together, we will celebrate, remember, and fight back.

I am touched that you would walk in my honor. Cancer is one of the ugliest words I know. I would love a Survivor shirt from your event.
