Make That Change!

Why I Participate in a Relay Event

Because I know I will make a difference in the fight to end cancer. I know that by raising funds and walking in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event, I will help save lives from cancer.

It's amazing to think that millions of people will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Somebody close to me may be one of them.

A Relay For Life event is not only a way to join my community to fight back against cancer, but it is also a way to inspire hope by raising funds and awareness to help those facing the disease.

I am a Colon CA survivor and still fighting on. Giving up is not an option to me. Every minute in life is just worth living for.

Who I'm Participating For

My reason for participating in my Relay For Life event is personal. Honestly, no one could come near to really understand how the recovery process is like. The nights when you cry alone and feeling like giving up. That intensity of the pain that the body is suffering. The heart wants to fight on, but we tend to feel alone. Just you know now, you are not alone! I am here with you.

We all participate in Relay events because we've been affected by cancer in some way and because a Relay For Life event gives us the power to make a difference and fight back. This is my opportunity to honor cancer survivors, remember people we have lost, and help raise funds for groundbreaking research, information and services for people fighting cancer.

Why I Support the Cancer Society

Every day, the Cancer Society helps people take steps to reduce their risk of cancer or find it early when it is easiest to treat. They provide free information and services when and where people need it throughout their journey to get well. They are investing in groundbreaking research to find, prevent, treat, and cure cancer, and are working with lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and rally communities worldwide to join the fight. 

And I am also a survivor from Colon CA.

I have signed up to walk and fundraise in my local Relay For Life event. I hope you will consider joining me and Pia's team and/or making a donation in support of my efforts. 

Together, we have the power to help create a world where cancer can no longer claim another year of anyone's life. For once, make your change counts to someone who really need it.
