Help needed in fighting cancer

[Buschmaster]

Please let me know if this is not appropriate for the forum.



For those of you who don't here is a brief run down of the Relay for Life.

One day. One night. One community. Your Relay For Life® is about celebration, remembrance, and hope. By participating, you honor cancer survivors, pay tribute to the lives we've lost to the disease, and raise money to help fight it – all right here in your community. You won't want to miss one moment of this life- and community-affirming event!

So, essentially, we take time to honor and remember those with cancer, if they have lost the battle, are currently fighting it, or have beaten it. This is a very big event and I can assure you of it's validity. For more information on the event in general feel free to visit this site:

My Grandma is the biggest reason I am doing the Relay. She has had cancer for about as long as I've been alive and she's the strongest willed person I know. She's my hero and I admire her so much.

My girlfriend has had tough times in her family with cancer. She lost her aunt at a very young age (30's) and her Grandpa also lost the battle with cancer.

I'll be remembering those 3 in particular on this night, as well as any that you guys would like me to keep in mind.

Thank you.

I have a friend who does a number of relays and runs for Cancer because she is a survivor herself. I know thinking about my kids from cancer camp in particular got me through the hardest part of the marathon I ran. Anyway, I think what you're doing is great, and I just wanted to wish you good luck!

Thank you very much for the support, mkrishnan. I think being a Cancer survivor can give someone the mentality that they have a second lease on life and should live it the best way they know how. They really seem to take care of themselves, from what I've seen.

By policy we don't allow fundraising threads, but of course we support good causes, so we'll close the thread but leave it visible.
