For me, like most people, cancer is very personal...
It is personal for every person who has been touched by it in some way.
Cancer stole my dad from me nearly 20 years ago, and so this year,
on the 20th anniversary of my dad's courageous fight ending,
I honor him, by FIGHTING BACK!!!
You all have a story of someone you love, who has fought the fight.
Many of you have had the privilege of being caregivers
for those you love as they battled with dignity and grace.
And even more of you will continue to be affected in some way, by this disease.
THAT is why I got involved in Relay for Life!
Cancer affected my dad at a time when there weren't many tools to fight with
that could have altered his fate...
but there is so much happening now to offer new breakthroughs..
and hope!!!
BUT ....
In order for that to happen, we all need to make a stand....
together....
and FIGHT BACK!
We are winning the battles, but the war is far from over.
Please help me honor the memory of my dad...
and YOUR loved ones...
and stand up for all those people who are not even diagnosed yet...
I need your help...
THEY need your help!
100% of the money that I raise will go
directly to research and patient services,
so PLEASE help me make a difference!!!

Cancer is so Limited!
It can NOT cripple love!
It can NOT shatter hope!
It can NOT corrode faith!
It can NOT eat away peace!
It can NOT destroy confidence!
It can NOT kill friendship!
It can NOT shut our memories!
It can NOT silence courage!
It can NOT invade the soul!
It can NOT reduce eternal life!
It can NOT quench the spirit!
It can NOT lessen the power of the resurrection!
It can NOT overcome the power of God!
