"Relay for Life" for the American Cancer Society here Tonight!



Well, we have our local "Relay for Life" for the American Cancer Society here starting tonight. It will run through the evening and finish up tomorrow. I am hoping the weather will be OK even though they are predicting rain and storms. We have had so much rain I wish it would stop and let the ground dry up a little bit. As they are having the Relay for Life on a large Soccer field, I hope it is not too soaked. I will be walking for as long as I can.

The Relay for Life is a major fund raiser for the American Cancer Society. They do so much good work from providing transportation for cancer patients, housing when patients and families must go out of town for consultation or treatment. ACS provides funds for research for many different types of cancers. ACS has helped many people in our communities across this great land.

If you have a Relay for Life coming up in your area I hope you will participate and have a good time while helping so many others.

Good luck to all the participants and our Thanks go out to all the volunteers and organizations that have helped this year and all years past. Good health to all and god bless.

Relay for Life helps the American Cancer Society


Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of your American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.

How to Participate
Relay brings people together from all walks of life with the common goal of eliminating cancer. No matter who you are, there’s a place for you at Relay. Join us today!

Become a Team Captain
Fighting cancer is a team effort. The strength of people coming together for a common cause is greater than the strength of one.

Donor/Sponsor
Relay For Life is a great way for corporations to demonstrate their commitment to fighting cancer in the community.

Survivorship Activies
Please join us as our honorary guest in the Survivors Lap, which begins Relay for Life. Your strength and courage help the community see that cancer survivorship is real--that we are making progress in the battle against cancer.

Volunteer
Relay for Life is a community gathering, where everyone can participate in the fight against cancer. We need your help before, during, and after Relay.

Sign up and Participate in the Relay for Life!! No matter who you are, there’s a place for you at Relay. Join us today!
