The truth is that what we do for this event does make a difference. Portions of the money raised goes towards advocacy, cancer prevention, early detection efforts, and patient services. More importantly though, a sizable portion of the money raised goes to cancer research. This year, with almost twice as many teams participating, we are anticipating the biggest and best Relay for Life yet. Relay would not be such a success without everyone's support, and for it we are thankful.
Every little bit helps.
So I hope you all come out to the track and help us fight. I don't think that any one needs a more obvious reminder that life is far too short and very precious. My heart goes out to Polly's family and friends in this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am very disturbed by this idea.
