Have you taken the pledge to Fight Back? If so, what have you pledged to do? What have you done? What would you like to do? Have you checked out the Fight Back pages on RelayForLife.org? Have you found any links that you want to share? Is there anything that you found that you'd like others to check out?
I am Event Chair of the Inland Mendocino County (CA) Relay For Life. I am pesonally pledging to FIGHT BACK! in a couple of ways:
* I am enrolling as a volunteer in the CPS-3 study
* I am signing up CPS-3 study volunteers at the Inland Mendocino County Relay (we are not an enrollment site, event date June 21-22) and have coordinated with the local Transit Authority who are donating a bus and driver to transport our volunteers to the Relay For Life event in Vallejo, who is an enrollment site (approximately a 2-hour drive one-way, event date August 2-3)
So, I'm not only FIGHTING BACK! myself, I hoping to help many others to do so as well.

C R FB!
I was at the November Summit in Springfield MA as a representative of the Kearsarge/Lake Sunapee Relay For Life of New Hampshire. I was supposed to go and bring back al of the good information to share with the committee. Well little did I know that I would be SO INSPIRED that I signed on to Chair our Relay for the next two years. I am currently one of our states 16 Advocates and went to Celebration on the HIll 2006! What a wonderful experience. I renewed my ASCAN membership and will continue my Fight Back through Eat Right and helping my husband and I to lose weight and keep it off by Eating Right and Fighting back. I lost my Mom to Lung Cancer, Dad in Law to Leukemia, countless female friends to Breast and Brain Cancer. I'm done with that. I'm FIGHTING BACK! Thank you all for your inspiration!

My Fight Back pledge
I've made 2 Fight Back pledges: I pledge to take the Great American Eat Right Challenge. My first step is to include five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Second, I pledge to get my 54-year old husband in for his first colonoscopy.
For those of you on my buddy list, don't hesitate to check in with me to see how I'm doing. (As far as that goes, anyone on RelayForLife.org is welcome to check in with me.)
It's great that Fight Back pledges are something we can easily commit to every day. I'd recommend checking out the Great Americans website at cancer.org for some simple things each of us can do for ourselves and our families.
The ACSCAN site also has some good Fight Back ideas.
Check them out!

Fight Back Pledge
Jeff -
I pledged at the leadership summit in Dallas to get my mammogram - done. I decided to FIGHT BACK in getting more active - walking 10-15 miles per week now, before 0! I have also decided to FIGHT BACK by encouraging my brother to become SMOKEFREE - well, he is trying .... but not there yet. I love the whole FIGHT BACK idea .... it really has motivated me to make better choices and to get more involved.

I have had to opprotunity to pledge three times over the last three weekends beginning with National Conference in Phoenix, then Great Lakes Leadership Summit, and then this past weekend at my divisional 5D's. I have pledge twice to learn all I can about the wonderful prgrams that American Cancer Society has to offer so when asked where does the money go I can give a strong detailed answer. And, I have pledge to eat healthier.
