THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you to all the Scouts who helped and participated in Relay For Life last night! You were part of something that means the WORLD to so many in our community. That something was by your participation you were fighting cancer! At Relay we show that our fight against cancer should NEVER rest (i.e. staying up all night/walking all night) because cancer never rests! Thank you for helping us fight!

I hope you came away with something more than a great time with friends and a stomach full of great food! That is aways a given at Relay but......

I hope you came away with a better understanding of cancer and the hope that one day you or your kids will never have to hear the words "you have cancer...."

That hope for a cure is why we Relay! That is why all the fun, food, and the stayin up all night happens!

Each one of those white paper bags you saw last night as you walked around the track represented one person who had fought the battle with cancer (some won... some did not) ....

I have lost a grandmother to colon cancer (my Mamalone died when I was 5); my other grandmother won her battle against colon cancer as did my Dad.... I have lost many cousins and friends to this dreaded disease.... and I want it to end.... So lets all keep Relaying EVERYDAY by doing so we keep the HOPE with us everyday!

LETS KICK CANCERS BUTT!
