American Cancer Society Relay for Life

Sponsors wanted. I was hesitant to join this 24-hour event that my employer is sponsoring on August 28th in the City of Chino. My co-workers don't know that I'm a cancer survivor and because I'm fairly new at this job I don't exactly like to announce that I am. Yesterday, I received an email from the Finance Director that she would sponsor anyone in our department that would be walking the relay. She's donating $10 to the American Cancer Society for each of us so I made up my mind to do it. It starts at 9 am on Saturday the 28th and it's non-stop walking or running relay until the following morning for 24 hours! One member of our team will always be on the track.

Let's always remember those who have passed and those survivors who continue to fight the battle with cancer.

I believe that one day there will be a cure. How would you like to sponsor me in my first Relay for Life? My goal is to collect $5.00 each from friends and family.

If you would be interested in being my sponsor, please make check for $5.00 payable to AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY and mail to Cure Adrenal Cancer!, PO Box 604, Chino Hills, CA 91709-0021. Donations are due this Sunday, August 22. More information can be found on the ACS website: Relay for Life.
