Event: Relay For Life of Olney on June 8, 2013
$9,410 raised $8,500 goal
Beautiful Swarovski Crystal Gem Bracelets remember and honor loved ones affected by cancer! We use the best quality beads and silver. Each different color crystal represents a different type of cancer. Cost $20 - Made locally in Olney, MD Contact patrinag@comcast.net
The next generation should not have to hear the horrible words, "You have cancer." Our 3 grandchildren and future generations need us to work together to find a cure to ALL types of cancer now!
We raise money all year because cancer never takes a rest, and neither do we. You may purchase a bracelet, make a donation, or light a luminaria candle to remember or honor someone.
Almost everyone has been touched by cancer, either through their own personal battle or through someone they love. Our families are no exception, and we want to make a difference.
Our Story:
Patrina's mom had several different cancers, and her dad had leukemia. They both lost the battle at the early age of 56. Life sometimes isn't fair! Seymour's parents lived to be in their 90's and also suffered with cancers, but his brother Marvin was 59 when he was first stricken with cancer. Unfortunately, 10 years later, he lost his battle from the after effects of the cancer. Too many other friends and family have experienced cancer.
Everyday, the American Cancer Society is helping us stay well by preventing cancer or finding it at its earliest, most treatable stages. They assist families in finding the best resources to help their friend or loved one deal with a diagnosis and their journey to get well. The American Cancer Society is also rallying communities (like ours!) through events like Relay For Life, to fight back and find cures for this disease.
Please make a donation to help the American Cancer Society to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Together, we can strive for the goal that cancer never steals another year of anyone's life!
Thank you to my supporters!
