My name is Lladaneyah Gayle, and I relay for my aunt, who bravely fought against cancer, as well as for anyone else who has been affected by this devastating disease. Watching my aunt go through her battle opened my eyes to the emotional, physical, and financial toll that cancer takes on not only the patient but their entire family. It’s a journey that no one should have to face alone, and it’s one of the many reasons I’m committed to fighting back. Cancer doesn’t discriminate—it impacts people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. I relay to honor those who have lost their lives to cancer, to support those who are currently fighting, and to raise awareness for the importance of early detection and research.

My ultimate goal is to become an oncologist. I want to dedicate my career to helping those who have experienced cancer, providing them with the best care possible, and supporting their families through what can often feel like an insurmountable challenge. I believe in the power of compassion and the difference that the right kind of care can make during some of the most difficult moments in life.

Together, we can stand strong against cancer. We are not just raising money—we are raising hope, awareness, and the power to make change. Cancer doesn’t sleep, and neither will we. As we fight for a future where cancer no longer takes lives or breaks families, we need your support to continue making progress.

Join my team, the Tumor Terminators, and help us take a stand. Together, we can make a lasting impact, show those affected that they are not alone, and fund the research that brings us one step closer to a cure.
