Hey Everybody,

I met with Courtney Friday about our Relay in Millington.  We are thinking about going with a sports theme for our Relay event.  But I need your input.  I think it is a great way to come up with fundraisers and events at our individual tents at the relay event itself.  So, I need some ideas for a theme...

Sporting for a cure....Striking out cancer....relayers vs. cancer...Join the winning team and lets beat cancer...Competing for a cure...

The way that we can set this up is with the Committee Members being the Managers of the team, the Team Captains are the Coaches, and then your team members are the Players.  It doesn't matter if we have more than one team using the same sport, but I think it would be great for the team members to dress to play, if you know what I mean.

So let me know what you think of the idea and also your ideas for an overall theme.

Thanks everyone.

Sometimes I think I am crazy.  I participated in relay last year as the captain of our team and have signed up to chair the event this year.  Have I totally lost my mind?? 

No I think that I can do this as long as I keep in mind the reason that we are doing this to begin with.  I have never had cancer but my father has.  I feel like he dodged a major bullet simply because they caught it early, operated and got it all without any further treatment.  We were so blessed.  But I want to be one less.  One less person diagnosed with it. 

One less.  One less!!  If we keep raising money then it will be 2 less, then 3 less, etc. etc..

I want my grandaughter to be able to say, "Cancer?  What's that?".  And I want to be able to answer her with, "Don't worry about it baby, it's just something people used to get sick from, but not anymore".  Wouldn't that be wonderful?

In the mean time, I will keep raising money and celebrating, remembering, and fighting back!!!
