Relay for Life
May 12th, 2009 by Mark
My family and I are going to be participating in the Relay for Life event in our town this weekend. Relay for Life is an event that raises money for the American Cancer Society. This description is from the Relay for Life website:
“Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.”
By going to my relay for life web page you can donate money to the Relay for Life cause or purchase a luminaria. Luminaria are illuminated bags that are placed around the track to remember people who have lost their lives to cancer and honor those who have won their battle.
If you can, please go to my relay for life web page and donate some money or purchase a luminaria. You can donate as little as $5, a Luminaria is just $10. Every little bit helps. Thank you.
