Our Relay team started when our friend Jackie was diagnosed with cancer.  We played on a co-ed softball team together in Simsbury.  Our team rallied together, named our team Striking Out Cancer and we started raising money.  Unfortunately, Jackie passed away a little over a year after she was diagnosed.  She left a loving family and a host of friends who miss her very very much!  Jackie was such a beautiful, thoughtful, energetic young woman. 

Team Striking Out Cancer continues to Relay in Jackie's memory.  This will be our 4th year.  Jackie would not want others to go through the pain she went through and that her family and friends are still going through.  So we Relay with the hope that a cure will be found for cancer.
