American Cancer Society-- Relay For Life


It's time once again to start getting ready for the Relay For Life. Once again I will be part of a SkyWest Relay For Life Team. Last year was a great year for our team, this year will be even better.

The Relay is a 24 hour event where teams walk or run without a break for 24 hours. The purpose of the Relay is to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

I began participating in the Relay many years ago after a close friend and co-worker was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She is a survivor and an example to me on how to BEAT the dreaded disease and live life to the fullest.

My participation in the Relay means alot more to me now than ever before. In 2005 my Mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She is approaching her two year cancer free anniversary and I'm so thankful that she is well and still able to spend time with my family. She's my best friend, confidant and the greatest Grandma in the world.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to participate in the Relay for Life and will continue to participate in the years to come.

If you want to support me or my team by making a donation to the American Cancer Society please visit http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=6273 and join me in the fight against cancer.
