Relay for Life 2009
*This is going to stay up at the top of my blog until after Relay, please scroll down for new posts.*
Many, if not all of you know that I was diagnosed with CLL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia at 28 in February 2008. Many of you also know my dedication to cancer research and Relay for Life. If all this is news to you, you can read my story here.
While I am currently doing wonderfully with my cancer, numbers are stable and I am not in any immediate need of treatments, it is not the time to slack off of cancer research support. This year, I am on the 2009 Niceville/Valparaiso Relay for Life Steering Committee and it has been an awe-inspiring experience to say the least. Relay this year is being held at the Niceville HS track once again and starts on May 1 at 6pm. 18 hours of fun and triumphant dedication to one cause, eradicating cancer. 18 hours of survivors, caregivers and supporters, trying to change the face of cancer, one lap at a time.
We would love if you could come out and join us in walking or would be willing to make a monetary donation, every dollar helps to find a cure to this horrendous disease. There are online and offline donation opportunities on our ACS Relay pages.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
