Hey, so this is my page, I'm almost always online somewhere doing something.

I Relay for a purpose

I first started in my Sophmore year, then I thought only of getting things done to get my volunteer hours out of the way, but now, now everything I've been through both inside and outside of school has changed my point of view on what this all means. My grandmother Sally died of cancer, and this is the least I can do in honor of her memory. With my strong-spirited personality and the help of everyone else who participates in the Relay, I know that soon, someday soon, we will find a cure, through all the hard work we put forth now!

When my grandma Sally was diagnosed with cancer I was, I can't even remember. My mom had to have been devistated, I certainly was when I found out myself. The news seemed, in a way, misplaced. As if it belonged in someone elses life, rather than mine. It didn't take long for me to grasp that it was no mistake, and that it could happen to anyone, even me. So, for my grandma, and on behalf of myself as well I Relay.

And now, by taking part in the Relay, I am helping the American Cancer Society fight back and save lives by:

• Helping people stay well by helping them take steps to prevent cancer or detect it early, when it’s most treatable
• Helping people get well by being in their corner around the clock to guide them through every step of their cancer experience
• Finding cures by funding groundbreaking research that helps us understand cancer’s causes, determine how best to prevent it and discover new ways to cure it
• Fighting back by working with lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and rally communities worldwide to join the fight

Please support my efforts and those of my school by making a donation or by joining our team. Together, we have the power to help create a world where cancer can no longer claim another year of anyone’s life, a world like that, is worth so much more than just talking about to me.
