Cancer Team gets set for this Summers Relay for Life

Whether it's a friend, a family member, or the neighbor down the street, we all know someone who has been touched by cancer. Many of us are concerned about this disease and want to do something to make a difference. That's why I've decided to take part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®.

NOTE: I neglected to put the date of the event in the post! July 26-27, 2008 6 p.m.-6 a.m.

It's an event that brings together the whole community and helps raise funds for the fight against this disease. I know you care about cancer, too, and I'd love for you to join me as part of my Relay team.

The Village hosted a team last year and we are back this year with a team called "The Village People". Please join us for the walk! Jennifer Blum is the team captain and can be reached here.

At the event, we'll camp out overnight, walk around the track, and meet lots of new people. There is an incredible tribute to cancer survivors and caregivers that starts off the night and a moving ceremony honoring those who have fought the disease. I can truly say Relay is unlike anything else you'll ever do. It's a night full of fun, hope, and remembrance.
