The Relay for Life started in Langley in June 2005 and The Gallery Gals were there for that first Relay, along with 70 other teams. The team name has changed, the team members have changed and even the relay location has changed but our participation continues. This year it is being held in Burnaby and The Gallery will be there.
Cancer is a villain and our team of Wonderwomen continue to fight it.
Since the last Relay took place we lost some truly amazing people to cancer. I lost a lifelong friend who generously supported me every year. I would like to acknowledge him publicly but he always donated anonymously so I will continue to respect his privacy. He was my Froot Loop and I miss him. I know all of us have lost special people and that is why your donations are so important. I am once again setting an outrageous fundraising goal. I may achieve it, I might surpass it or I might fall short but it doesn't matter because what I do raise will be used to support and find treatments for cancer.
This is not a journey that I travel alone. Everyone of you has been there by my side supporting me so generously and once again, I turn to you to walk along with me to help me reach my fundraising goal. It is because of you that I can do this and for that, you have my utmost respect, appreciation and deepest heartfelt gratitude.
