My Reason to Relay

I Relay because I want to see an end to cancer during my lifetime. Relay gives me the unique opportunity to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission by fighting back against a disease that has already taken too much.

I have been searching for the best way to help support the fight against cancer ever since I was personally diagnosed.  I will never forget the day I was told I had cervical cancer and would need a radical hysterectomy.  The day was April 26, 2007.  Within a few short weeks, I was on the operating table.  My Doctor gave me the good news before leaving the hospital, they got it all and I would not need to undergo radiation or chemotherapy.  Although estatic that I would not need additional treatment, I suffer in other ways.  The first and foremost is the guilt that, in essence, I was extremely lucky and I truly feel bad for all those who continue to fight unbelievable battles against cancer.  The other is the simple fact that I will never be able to have children, especially since we were trying to concieve when I was diagnosed.  I work daily to come to terms with these issues, but I know that I was spared for a reason and I believe that reason is to help find a cure for cancer. 

Please support my efforts to fight back against cancer by making a donation or joining my Relay For Life® team.
