Relay For Life

Craig| September 7, 2008 2:10 pm

When our church decided to actively participate in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life as part of its Love Movement, Sonya and I thought that it wasn’t something that would work too well for us.  We brushed it off as one of the activities we wouldn’t participate in.  After all, walking/running around a track for 12 hours seemed like more than we could do.  Quinton however didn’t give up that easily; he convinced us that it is definitely something we can do.

Cancer is nasty,  it’s devastating, and sadly it’s wide spread.  Did you know that more than 1.3 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States this year?  I would be amazed if you or a loved one was not effected by cancer already.  Sadly, if the answer is no, odds are not on your side.  That is why this is such an important cause.

Now that I am involved, I see just how disappointing my initial attitude was.  With little effort, we’ll make arrangements for the little ones to spend the night with someone. With a little dedication, we can make a difference.  With a little help, we can make this a success!  This is a great opportunity to help a wonderful cause!  Please visit our personalized site on the American Cancer Society website to make a donation and sponsor us as we circle the track!

When you make a donation you can make it in honor of, or in memory of any person of your choosing if you desire.   As Quinton, Sonya and I make laps, we will keep these people close in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
