Relay For Life

Hello Everyone,

Brian and I have decided to participate in a relay in honor of all those children who have fought the battle the battle of cancer and those that are still fighting it. We have a very close friend whose daughter lost the cancer battle last year. Her name was Katrina. She was known as Katie. Katie was diagnosed with cancer at 20 months of age. She fought that vicious battle for 3 years and it finally took over her when she was 3 1/2. Unfortunately, we never met her personally, but her love and memories still linger here. While Katie was in the hospital, she became very close friends with a girl named Samantha. They were diagnosed with the same type of cancer, they received the same treatments, saw the same doctors and stayed in the same room. They became very close friends. After hearing the experiences that both of these families have gone through, we have decided to relay in their behalf. Cancer is such a horrible thing and we do not wish it upon anyone. We ask for your help in fighting against cancer. Please make a donation to me or join our team. You have the power to fight back against a disease that affects millions. It took you 2 minutes to read this blog, in that time 3 more people were diagnosed with cancer. I believe that the life of each individual is priceless. Today we show we care by remembering. Today we fight back by donating. Today we celebrate each life affected by cancer. Today we make a difference. You can go directly to my website to make a donation or join my team at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/srust. Every little bit counts.
Thanks so much for your thoughts and contributions.
