The Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society is June 22-23rd. I am Team Captain for my Team, Life's a Beach. Today, I learned that two friends of mine were both diagnosed with malignant Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, the same type of cancer that I was diagnosed with 16 yrs. ago. Two friends in one day diagnosed with the same type of cancer, unbelievable. This is why I Relay. to do my part, to help raise money to find a cure for cancer. I have already lost friends and family to this terrible disease, and my list is ever growing from the people fighting the fight of their life. Sadly,I am adding two more people to the list.
I'm sure that you know a friend or family member that had been affected by cancer. A Relay for Life is is a life changing event to Celebrate the life you have, Remember those that have lost their fight, and Fight Back to beat cancer.

My team will be selling these Fight Back Brownies to raise additional monies for the American Cancer Society. These brownies are so good, and only have five ingredients, flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and chocolate syrup. The frosting is so good and tastes like melted ice cream. You can put it on the brownies right out of the oven, so you make bake, and frost the beauties in 25 min. Quick and Easy, and yummy! They also taste great with the powdered sugar.

DeleteThank you for your sweet words! I'm glad that you like the brownies.
What a great post...recipe..and I love the name of your brownies too. So sad for you to have two friends diagnosed with the same thing the same day...how bizarre is that??? :/ It's awesome that you are a team captain for R4L. Our 7 yr old grandson finished 3 yrs of chemo treatments in January for leukemia. He's being honored as the Youth Survivor of the year for R4L this year. I can so relate to your involvement and thank you for your willingness to do what you can. Sure appreciate you linking up at Weekend Potluck too.

ReplyDeleteThese look delectable!
ReplyDeleteI have a question about the Chocolate Frosting. I calls for 5 Tbsp butter and 5 tbsp milk---should the milk be 5 tsp or is it 5 Tbsp??
ReplyDeleteThe brownies sound great and I would like to try them. Just confused about the amount of butter and milk. Thank you and waiting for your reply.
My cousin found out last year that she had breast cancer. Had to have one breast removed. So far she is doing well.
