I am a 15 yr. Melanoma Cancer survivor, and have been a Team Captain for 7 yrs. Besides being a cancer survivor, so many people in my life have been affected by Cancer. My Mom had Multiple Myeloma , my brother Tim, is currently undergoing aggressive chemo for the third time for a rare form of Leukemia, my cousin has lung cancer, and I have lost 2 dear friends to cancer. I was so overwhelmed with all of these people fighting, cancer I had to do something, and went to a Relay for Life. I'm sure that you know a friend or family member that had been affected by cancer A Relay for Life is is a lfe changing event to Celebrate the life you have, Remember those that have lost their fight, and Fight Back to beat cancer.
