Candles For A Cure

Hey guys! My team and I have decided to sale homemade candles as a fundraiser for this years Relay.

I was wondering if anyone has done homemade candle sales before and if so what scents sold the best for you. Thanks a lot for the help.

Stamp it out!

If you are reading this, then you are visiting the Relay for Life site.  The Vanderburgh County North Relay is fast approaching.  Cancer research needs your help in fighting this horrible disease. 

Although I am a two time cancer survivor, my experience was nothing compared to other men and women who suffer everyday.  My dear friend Mary West who was struck with cancer several years ago and continues to receive chemo weekly and probably will the rest of her life.  She is only 36.  Her son Jared, who is 7, can't remember when his mother didn't have cancer.

You know someone who has battled or is battling cancer.

Let's find a cure!  Cancer research needs your help.  Write a check; volunteer; get on board!

Blessings to you and your family,

Margo

Fight Back Today

 

 

 

Terri Francis of the South Atlantic Division his incorporated the new Fight Back Ceremony in her Relays. We thank Terri for taking a few minutes out of her schedule during this busy time of year to talk about her ceremonies.

Q. Why do you feel it was important for your events to include a Fight Back Ceremony?

Cherilyn Pollard

Seventeen years ago, at the age of 25, my lifelong dream of becoming a mother was about to become a reality! While enjoying what was to come, I realized a mass I had shown to my doctor 6 months prior had grown larger. Within 48 hours, I had a mammogram, saw a surgeon, had a biopsy, a full mastectomy, and was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. 

As devastating as that was, the worst moment of all came when the same doctor who told me that I couldn’t possibly have cancer, announced that I “couldn’t have cancer and have a baby”.  He told me I needed to “eliminate it within the week” in order to save my life.

My world turned upside down.   Looking deep inside myself and visiting with those people closest to me, I realized over the course of that week that – like my own mother – I was willing to do whatever it would take to save both myself and my daughter.  So I set out to find answers and doctors willing to do things my way.

What is LMS


Leiomyosarcoma: a rare cancer of the soft tissues of the body. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) strikes four in every one million people. Too many patients to be considered an orphan cancer with government research dollars granted and too few to gather the attention from the drug manufacturers.
