Time escapes us all

 Wow, it has only been five short months since I sat in front of the computer making my Making Strides Against Breast Cancer page deciding what words were worthy enough to describe my mother and her fight against breast cancer.  We participated in that event...me, my mother, my dad and my new daughter. That day is one that I would never give back for anything. That day was all about my mother and her fight against breast cancer. My mother won her battle and was diagnosed as cancer free in December-just 2 months after the event.  However, February 27, 2008 (just two months later) my mother lost her life due to a complication of a different surgery.  But my mother beat cancer. Thanks to research, modern medicine and her unending will to win...she beat it. Today we fight for others to have that right.  Not only do we do this in remembrance of my mother, we do it in memory of my sister, grandmother, great grandmother and my mother in law.  Please help us to help others in their battle.  We are participating in the Relay for Life in Starkville on May 2, 2008.

struggling to recruit

This is Heather from Reno/Sparks Relay in Nevada and I was wondering how other Relays are doing with teams.  Our Relay is struggling quite a bit and we think it is because of the ecenomy but I would like to think that we can overcome it.  If other Relays aren't struggling, then we know it's us.  We are having a hard time getting teams (our goal is 120, we had 89 last year, and we are at 36 with 2 months to go) and we are far from our fundraising goal.  Any input from others would be greatly appreciated.  No matter what, I know we'll have a great Relay, but we need things to pick up.

Thanks!

Track you lap - has anyone done this before

Has anyone ever done a track you lap fundraiser before with the little beads and if so can you please send me all the detail as to how to go about doing one. I would love to do this for our relay, it seems like an awesome idea. If i remember correctly reading somewhere you charge 3 or 5 dollars for the first initial piecs of string but do you charge when they come back to get the beads. I'm so confused.

 please let me know ASAP my relay is in less than 2 weeks and i would love to do it this year.
