Our Reason to Relay

Honoring Darcy, One Step At A Time

Fighting cancer is a team effort. The impact we can make together is much greater than what any of us could do alone.

At the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, our team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society save more lives from cancer. By joining or donating to our team, you will be a part of a life-changing event that gives everyone in the community a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Please make a donation, or join our team and help us create a world where cancer can no longer claim another year of anyone’s life.

Team Phi Sigma Pi walks in Memory of Darcy Enrille who passed away from Osteosarcoma on November 8, 2008.

Darcy's Message

Here are just a few paragraphs from Darcy's essay, called "Driving up to the Starting Line."

"I close my eyes and open them just in time to see the green flag whip through the air to signal the race has begun. I'm just the passenger, unable to direct where the car goes or how fast it swings around the track...My entire life turned around...I chose to lose my leg because I wasn't going to let cancer win the competition... I underwent a total of eight straight months of intensive, aggressive chemotherapy and by the end I was one sick cookie.

"Currently I am home in Tampa immersing myself with good company, positive attitudes, prayer and a healthy organic lifestyle to beat this cancer and win this race. People live with cancer every day and that is my goal. Doctors can't cure me but if they are able to help stabilize my disease and reduce my pain level, I'll be able to live my life... Either way, I have made the most of my time, traveling by meeting new people, sightseeing and making sure folks around me know my story so I can raise awareness about pediatric cancers.

"Today's experimental treatments could be tomorrow's cure and I am a firm believer in doing everything possible to win the race... I will continue this competition until I see the checkered flag wave through the air to signal my victory.

"It is only the journey that counts, not the result."
