This is my 23rd Relay For Life. In the past I have participated in memory of my mom and dad. My mom died of Breast cancer when I was 12. I Relay to raise funds so other children don’t have to grow up without a mother.
I Relay for my brother-in-law, Brad (2022), gone too soon, but always in our hearts.
This year, I will be participating as a SURVIVOR. It has been 5 years since I completed my cancer journey. Surgery, chemo and radiation is all in the past. I have witnessed first hand where our donations go. Without my annual mammogram my cancer would not have been found in early stage. The programs and support that are offered are amazing~ to name a few ~ Wheels of Hope programs (I couldn’t have survived the 30 trips to London- every day for 6 weeks without these wonderful volunteers), the “look good, feel better” program (with over $300 of makeup, beauty supplies free -to show cancer patients that looking good does make you feel better) - not to mention the free wigs, head caps and much more.
Please support this great cause so this disease can be eliminated, but also to support the programs that are available to all cancer patients and their caregivers. We need to spread the word - awareness and early detection are so important. Never put off getting those tests done, and regular checkups.
one word of advice is to GET SCREENED - without my annual mammogram, my cancer may not have been caught in the early stages.
