Erin Powers the daughter of one of our local County Board Reps Bob Powers was talking to me about this wonderful program the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life to be held in Grayslake this summer and she challenged me to get a team together. I would like to put a Round Lake team together. The date of the event is July 28th at 6pm to July 29th 6am basically overnight! Its a Saturday night so you have time to recover for work on Monday!I lost my mother to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer a little more then 15 years ago and have always been supportive of cancer related activities.
Please email me if you are interested in participating and are willing to walk as well!
Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in our community. At the event, we celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society in its mission to save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.
