Please help me- American Cancer Society Relay for Life

Hello ladies! I hate doing this but I figure I have nothing to lose. DH and I are doing the American Cancer Society Relay for Life again this year. This will be our 4th year doing it. For those who don't know what it is, the Relay for Life is (taken from the ACS web page)' a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back against this disease. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team keeps at least one team member on the track at all times.

Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another. '

The Relay for Life is especially meaningful for DH and me, as DH is a cancer survivor himself. Please support us and cancer research by making a donation. It can be as big or small as you can afford- every little bit makes a difference!!

You can donate one of 2 ways- on my personal webpage via credit card (this is definitely safe- that is how I paid my initial entrance fee) or by mailing me a check. If you choose to mail a check , just fm me and I'll give you my address. thanks in advance for your support. It means a lot !

I also just wanted to thank all those who have already donated! It really means so much to me...I am in tears here! -happy tears! Last year, so many ladies were SOOO generous. They donated whatever money they could even though they were planning a wedding. John and I are truly so grateful.

Thank you all!

Thank you for doing this. I have been widely effected by Cancer in my family, and just recently lost my grandfather in September. Good luck with your fundraising efforts!
