Relay for Life

I have always wanted to participate in the Relay for Life as I believe it to be a really great cause. As a sophomore in high school I was assigned by the school newspaper to do an article summarizing the Relay for Life. We played host to the Relay every year and we wanted to let the students in on what exactly the Relay for Life was all about. I learned everything there was to know about it such as how much money each team needed to raise before they could even get in to the Relay, what the teams do to raise money while they are at the Relay, the programs and ceremonies that take place, the difference all the money has made so far, what the American Cancer Society plans to do with the money the raise in the future, and so on. While I have long since forgotten all of the details and exact numbers (though I am sure they have changed by now anyway) I do remember how greatly inspired I was by everything the Relay's participants do. They are fighting hard to save lives. People like them who have put so much work and effort in supporting cancer research and treatments are a HUGE part of the reason that I and so many others get to make it through this. We get to survive cancer. Who knows where we would be without them. So, even though I have a couple of failed attempts under my belt of trying to make it in to the Relay for Life ( I never was able to raise enough money) I would still like to help in someway. A classmate of mine is trying to raise some money for the Relay. He has made it really easy. All you have to is go online and make a payment by credit card at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/mike_henrichs. Any amount will help, so if you can donate something please do. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask me or I have Mike's information if you would like to get a hold of him. You can also visit the American Cancer Society's website at www.cancer.org. Thanks guys!!
