Hello Relay Family,

I am from Nederland, Texas and looking for ideas on how your Relay reconizes teams that have a Survivor as an active team participant?  I was reading my 5 Star Challenge sheet and realized that I am lacking this one recognition. 

Please let me know what your Relay does in order to get some ideas.

THANK YOU,

Tina Munoz, Co-Chair South Jefferson County, Texas

Hello,

Our event has used the same invite for a few years now and I would love to change it!  IT'S BORING!   Does anyone have any suggestions or maybe willing to share a sample of what you use with me? 

Thank you so much!

Tammy

Hey everyone,

I am new to the Survivorship Committe and am loving it!  I enjoy reading about all the Relay's out there.  Everyone has such great ideas.  I am working on the schedule for survivors for our relay in Chittenden County, Vermont.  Is anyone out there willing to share their schedule with me?  Our relay has never had entertainment and activities for our survivors and this year I am going for it!!!

Thanks I look forward to hearing from you.

I have created a song that is being used locally at meetings and in the Relay.  The song is a true story that is both sad yet inspiring as it describes the determination of a Survivor.  The link is  http://www.wpoc.com/new2/artists/themarblesteps

I had a port put in last week and surgeon said he could not put it in my chest my breasts were too big when i laid flat on my back. Now i have a port on the underside of my breast. Not my abdomen like he said it would be it is actually on the bottom my breast. Has anyone ever heard of or know anyone with a similar location problem. This surgeon left a large chested woman unable to wear a bra. Not comfy.

I am wondering if someone could tell me where we could find a copy of the song "Lifesong" by JOHN W. STOREY & TRACK BLUE MUSIC.

This song is a dedicated to Relay For Life, the Nationwide Signature Event of the American Cancer Society.

We are wanting to use this for one of the songs for our survivor lap.  We have found the lyrics but need the actual song to music.

Our relay is June 13 in Charles City, IA (Floyd County).

Thanks,

Lisa Apel

Survivor Chairperson

I'm having trouble trying to figure out what exactly I should write on the Survivorship Dinner Invitations. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Everyone,

HI There Fellow Relayers,

Has anyone ever heard of doing a cut out of a tree,  hanging it in the Survivors Tent and placing all survivors names on the tree branches.

If someone out there has done this please let me know how exactly it works and how it went over with the survivors.  I think it maybe called the Tree of Hope but am not sure

Thank you                                                          craftie043@yahoo.com

Our Relay currently has a survivor dinner the evening of the Relay (before the event). I am looking for any feedback from Relay's that have had the dinner prior to the Relay (not the evening of the Relay). Was this successful, did you have trouble getting the survivors to attend the event?  Additionally, has anyone ever had the survivior dinner after the Relay event - say the following week.
