Relay for Life- American Cancer Society
Hello friends and family,
My Hall Council in my dorm has created a team for Relay for Life this year and I will be joining them. For those of you who don't know what Relay for Life is, it is a fundraising event where we do a 24 hour relay (walking laps in a gym)to raise money for the American Cancer Society. During the event, there is celebration of the lives of cancer survivors, those who are currently battling cancer, and those who have passed away due to cancer. I did this last year and the experience is difficult but very rewarding. If you'd like to donate to the American Cancer Society or just check out more about Relay for Life, here is the link to my part of the Relay website: http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY12National?px=27308640&pg=personal&fr_id=41350
Last year when I walked, I did it to support others who have experience with cancer, as well as some of my own relatives who are survivors. This year, I am thinking a lot of my friend Nick (from UWEC, my dorm Murray, and Intervarsity) who is currently battling cancer. If you can keep him in your prayers, that would be wonderful.
Thank you!!!
