Today is my first Relay for Life event and I'm super excited!! For anyone that doesn't know, relay for life is an event done by the American Cancer Society to raise money and awareness for cancer. This cause is really important because cancer has been a part of my family's history and has had a huge impact on all of our lives. My mom had cancer right after i was born. Thankfully she has been in remission for years but this event acts as a reminder to be thankful for modern medicine and power of will. I am so grateful that she survived and she swears that all the time that my dad spent with me while she was sick is what keeps our family's relationship strong. Cancer is treatable when caught early and i encourage all of you to encourage everyone you care about to get screened, checked, whatever, it saves lives.
happy relay for life!
