Day 18: Celebrate.Remember.Fight Back.

Last night I attended a Relay For Life kick-off party to get my team ready for a successful Relay season. This will be my third year doing Relay, my second year as a team captain, and hopefully my first year to reach a team fundraising goal of $5000! They had lots of information about Relay For Life and American Cancer Society research, education, patient services, and advocacy efforts. I’m proud to work for such an honorable organization.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

I helped take photos at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer kick-off breakfast on Aug. 26 in Kansas City. It was a great event – and based on the turnout, I know the American Cancer Society will have a great Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in October!
