Hello to all,

I have participated in Relay for Life for about four years now and will continue to participate for as long as it takes to find a cure for every kind of Cancer there is.  I have lost many close family members to this horrible disease, since the year 2001 I have lost my Grandma, Grandpa, my two beautiful siser-in-laws, and my beautiful angel of a mother.  We started this walk around 4 years ago and our team consists of just a few family members, but we are all committed to this cause.  Everyone from our team has been effected by Cancer in some way and this is one way that we are trying to help in finding a cure for everyone.  My mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in July 06 and in only a few months was taken from us, this was the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me, I loved her with all of my heart and will forever keep her memory alive, although she knew she was very sick she never once complained and was always worried about how her illness was going to effect her children, grandchildren, and my dad her husband of 43 years.  She was the most loving, giving, and beautiful woman that I have ever known, she was my angel and still is.  My hope is that by doing this someday none of us will ever have to lose another loved one to this terrible thing they call Cancer. I love you mom and this is for you. Thank you for taking the time to read this and may God Bless you all.
