Relay for Life

Posted by alicia on Apr 12, 2006 in Life |

Like others who enjoy participating in Relay for Life, there are a lot of reasons why I want to be involved.

I want to meet more people in the Richmond area. I want to be more invovled with my community. I want to honor my friends and family who have battled cancer. I want to be a part of finding a cure. I want to support aid that is being given to individuals who are currently undergoing treatment for cancer or have a loved one who is fighting this disease. I want to help provide an experience where people who have been hurt by this disease can see that there is hope.
Here is some information about what Relay for Life is about:

Relay For Life of Richmond West is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back against this disease. During the event, teams of people will gather at Deep Run Park and take turns walking or running laps. Each team keeps at least one team member on the track at all times.

Relay of Richmond West is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It’s a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another.

Relay gives you the power to help accelerate the Society’s advancement toward a future where cancer doesn’t take the lives of our friends and family.

Sign up today to become a part of the Relay of Richmond West phenomenon and make plans to join us on June 2nd and 3rd at Deep Run Park for a night to remember. Together we can accelerate the progress to a cancer-free future.

If you want to be involved there are lots of ways to get started. Like with most fund-raising events you can just donate money. Or you can give your time to spread the word about this event, or put together a team of friends, family, &/or co-workers, or volunteer at the event. There are lots of ways to help and be involved. Follow the links above to learn more or you can ask me.
