My Reason to Relay
I am joining people around the world in celebrating those who have survived cancer, remembering the people we've lost, and supporting the lifesaving mission of the American Cancer Society.

I know the importance of raising money for research. I would not be alive today had research not be completed. In Sept 1976 I was diagnosed with a stage IV neuroblastoma. At the time they had no known cures, only treatment that added about 6 months to your life. I am one of the first patients that the chemotherapy actually worked on. 32 years later I am very grateful. I am living proof that research works.

On a sadder note, my father lost his battle with lung cancer (he never smoked) in january of 2006. It was a long hard struggle and he lived well past what the doctors thought was possible. He held on to see my brother graduate medical school, my sister graduate college and to watch my blow out the candles on my 30th birthday cake. He was able to be there for those important events because of new treatments that were being released.

Please make a donation to me or join my team. You are helping deliver the hope that future generations will not have to endure cancer threatening the lives of their friends and family. You have the power to fight back against a disease that affects millions.
