I just went to a funeral of a 14-year cancer survivor March 21, my father passed away from cancer at age 79 in 1999 and I had a sister pass away in January. Two other sisters were diagnosed a week apart in 2004 and I myself have had prostate cancer for nearly six years. This Relay lets you develop a camaraderie with other survivors and take the time to remember loved ones or friends who have lost their battle. It also celebrates life. |
It is this single lap of a track that, has such an impact. I remember being hugged by total strangers who just walked up to me and said ?God bless you.' My cancer is not that bad, but some of these people are so brave to be out there because they know how dramatic an effect it has on their life. |
It seems like we always play second fiddle to some of the other schools around here. That's why this year we'd like to win region and maybe surprise some people. |
