Relay For Life

Hey readers, how are ya? So over the past week, the lovely ladies in my family have decided that we are going to participate in The Relay For Life, for cancer research. I am super excited about participating and can't wait until June 25th! There's 10 of us on the team and I hope we reach our team goal of $1, 000!

First member is my mom Linda, she lost her father, her sister, her grandfather and 2 aunts to cancer and has already made $200 towards our goal! Then there's my mom's sister's Susan, and Maureen. My aunt Sue did it last year and made over $200 herself and raised over $1000 for her team, who she ditched because she loves us more ;). My aunt Maureen is joining aswell, and bringing her daughter Miranda along to beat the cure.

My mom's 3 closest cousins are joining to beat the terrible disease, they lost an uncle, an aunt and their own mother (at a young age). Auntie Chris is kicking butt and has also beat her personal goal. My aunt Judy is coming and bringing her daughter Melissa (21) to conquer, and are half way to their personal goal. Finally, my God mother/aunt Carol, she just celebrated her birthday on Mon and got a ton of money already lol.

I am more than confident that we'll beat the Team Goal and beat our personal goals and raise money. I lost the greatest people I know to cancer and wish that they were still here. I'm dedicating my walk to my aunt Karen, who passed of stomch cancer 1 week after my birthday. I'm also dedicating it to my grandpa, who battled cancer for 8-9 years! (I found out when they couldn't do anything to help him).

Right now I know 2 amazing ladies who are battling breast cancer at the moment. Their not in the best of shape and I'm hoping that they beat it! One I've known for maybe 12 years and the other I met a few months ago but have grown so close to her. Can't imagine what your going through ladies, and want nothing but the best for you. Your a great insparation to me and to a bunch of others.

If you are interseted in joing with a team of 10, google relay for life-sorry I don't have the link. You know, I'll just post the link next time lol. My bad. It's time for me to go reflecton my games over the past few days, I'll blog about em later-coach says, but might not happen. Love ya lots!!!
