I Relay for several reasons:
I Relay to CELEBRATE the victory of my maternal Grandmother, Ola Williams, who at age 82 underwent two surgeries (January and March - 2007) to remove cancer from her colon and stomach. Today she is cancer free and living life to it's fullest! I also Relay to CELEBRATE the victory of all Cancer Survivors worldwide!
I Relay to REMEMBER my relatives and friends who lost their brave battle against this horrible disease:
1. My Dad, Charles Freeman who lost his short battle with Cancer in June, 2002 (brain tumor - GBM).
2. My paternal Grandmother, Princess Williams who lost her long-time battle with Leukemia.
3. My Uncle Horace who lost his short battle with Lung Cancer.
4. My Uncle Roy who lost his short battle with Lung Cancer.
5. My Uncle Hosea who lost his short battle with Lung Cancer.
6. My Uncle Robert who lost his short battle with Colon Cancer.
7. My maternal Great-Grandmother, Bertha who lost her long-time battle with Colon Cancer.
8. My high school basketball teammate, Jeanie H. who lost her battle with Cancer.
9. My former co-worker, Denise Walker who lost her long-time battle with Breast Cancer.
10. My many, many other loved ones, friends and co-workers who have lost their battle with this dreadful disease!
I Relay to FIGHT BACK against this murderer known as Cancer until it is no longer a major health threat to our dear loved ones and friends. This disease has taken too much from too many and it's time we took our stand against it. I've made the pledge to FIGHT BACK!
