This is a test of the Danny Ingram blog service.  If this were an actual blog, you'd be reading something worthwhile.

When asked why we Relay, everyone has a story. Here is American Cancer Society staff member Jim Boaze with his story. Jim, as you can see, volunteers to put on the Polyp Man costume and travels to many Relays promoting the important health message of colon cancer screening.

When asked why we Relay, everyone has a story. Whether it’s your personal cancer story, that of family members, friends or colleagues' cancer experiences, each story is a reminder of why we Relay. Here’s a brief video of Shelly Hogan’s personal Relay story. 

The volunteer and staff partnership is one of the special attributes that helps make the American Cancer Society successful. Whether you are a volunteer or a member of the staff team, we all are Relayers.

Each of us has a story about why we Relay. Despite strong wind, a bad microphone, and the music that was pumping up the volume for Austin Westlake Relayers, Jackie Bayly-Bryant tells you the brief version of her story in this one-minute video clip.

Sitting on the west bank of the Colorado River’s winding path toward Austin, Westlake High School Stadium was the host site for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life on April 21, 2007.  One of many Relays in the Austin and surrounding area, this is the “home” Relay of Board member and immediate past Chairman of the High Plains Division Board of Directors, Jon Hornaday. I invite you to watch this 4-minute video to see some of the activities from Westlake and to hear Jon tell why he Relays. 

Handing Off Hope, Danny Ingram, Chief Staff Officer, Strategic Initiatives

The University of Texas Colleges Against Cancer group held their Relay For Life in Austin this weekend.  In spite of fierce, Texas thunderstorms interrupting the activities, the event was a success.  I've included a short, three-minute video blog that includes the Relay chair telling why she Relays, photos from the event, and information about the University of Texas Colleges Against Cancer group.
