Hi,

I have Avon fundraisers I'm useing in the Relay for Life cancer walk this year. Look at the fundraiser link on my info page to get a look at them. they need to be registered and dated. So please just don't do them or you won't recieve the full monies for the fundraising.  Email: youavonrep_dm@yahoo.com

                                  Thanks Daina Moran

I applaud The American Cancer Society because their efforts are very important.
According to statics we all probably know or have known someone effected by Cancer. My Dad died in 1998 from Lung Cancer. I have a close friend that told me last year she was diagnosed with bone cancer......I could continue. This fight is very very important.

I only regret that I did not register sooner this year to form a team. My company M.E.C. Financial Services is working on a campaign- "Saving Our Children" and my event is scheduled for May 17th, 2008. THE PREMISE BEHIND THIS IS TO RAISE OUR CHILDREN IN NON-VIOLENT, CRIME-FREE NEIGHBORHOODS.

GETTING BACK TO THE RELAY FOR LIFE, I STRONGLY SUPPORT YOUR CAMPAIGN AND ALL THE EFFORTS THE ACS IS STRIVING TO COMBAT THIS HORRIFIC DISEASE. I WISH TO BE A VOLUNTEER THIS YEAR BECAUSE IT IS TOO LATE TO FORM A TEAM.

2008-05-08 Was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to decorate our campsite with the Olympic theme. Our theme is Go For the Gold in the Fight Against Cancer. We go all out on our decorations and this year I am stumped. Any ideas would be a great help. Our Relay is the last weekend in July.

Hey y'all!

Thank you so much to those of you who have donated to Relay for Life on my behalf. I have raised $145 so far. My Relay for Life Event is Tomorrow Night (ALL NIGHT!) At Jim R. Miller Park. It starts at seven pm and ends at ten am. I am REALLY excited.

For those of you who have not yet donated to Relay for Life and you still wish to donate, they are always welcome. I am sure that you can still donate online throughout the entire year. I don't know if there is a cut off or not, but I will let you guys know!

Does anyone know of a fundraising group that makes bracelets and other craft items in the Grand Rapids area

Hard to believe this is my 3rd Relay.  The first I dedicated to my mom who lost her battle to cancer 9 years prior.  My second year I had dedicated it to my Sister in law Janet Huthansel who had died only weeks before the event.  And this year I am dedicating this to my Uncle Doug who it currently in the battle.  Fight On, Fight On!

I remember my mother talking about her cancer and how she explained it as " it was somthing that just came overnight and took hold of her life"  One day it was just there...

A few month ago I decided to take steps to see if I were carring  the gene that carried the brest/overian mutation.  The BROCA and I happy to say I do not carry that gene.  My Daughter Dilynn who is 16years sold will also have this test done but we will wait till she is 18.  Googel it  BROCA test, it intresting. Sad to say in the Boelhouwer side of my family we have had brest, overian, colon, prostate.

Well I wish all the best for all of you, I pray for all you who are in the battle, and I feel for all of you who have lost a loveone to cancer.

Our theme for our Relay for Life is Cartooning for a Cure, Let's "toon" out cancer.  Any ideas on how to decorate our campsite?

The Michigan Group has a fundraising idea for anyone looking for a Fundraiser for Relay for Life. No cost involved to participate.  http://mourningdovefoundation.com/ for details... designed to be sent via personal email

There's only 8 days until Relay.  We're all very excited for the event! We have a lot of great things planned!

We recently found out that the ACS CAN Fight Back Express is coming to our Relay on Saturday May 17!!!  You should come check it out!

We still have a ways to go to meet our Relay goal this year.  Maybe you can help out!  Go to http://main.acsevents.org/rflctsimsbury or http://main.acsevents.org/goto/amystepka. Any amount would be greatly appreciated!!!
