I Relay Because....

So I relay so that research can find cures for all the different cancers.

My immediate family has been affected by four different cancers, esophagus cancer, thyroid cancer, mantle cell lymphoma, and myeloma. Apparently none of those cancers are genetically linked and yet 4 members of my immediate family have had or currently have one of those cancers. Esophagus cancer took the life of my oldest brother and my father is currently fighting myeloma. My sister and my youngest brother are cancer survivors due to current cancer research.
