Why I Relay…
Every 90 seconds, someone in the United States dies from cancer.
That’s a mother, a father, a sibling, a best friend—gone. This disease doesn’t just take lives; it steals moments, memories and futures.
That’s why I’m asking you to donate now to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Erie County.
I’ve been volunteering with the American Cancer Society for almost 30 years (yes, I started young!). People sometimes ask me, “Why do you still do Relay?” The answer is simple: Because cancer hasn’t stopped, so neither will I.
My journey with the American Cancer Society began before I understood the weight of words like “caregiver” or “survivor.” But I knew what chemotherapy was. I knew what it looked like to watch someone I love lose her hair, her weight and her joy for life. I knew what it felt like to lose my grandmother to cancer.
She never saw me drive a car, graduate or read my first published news story. We never got to hang Christmas ornaments together again. She never walked a survivor lap at Relay. And I have never gotten over what cancer did to her, to me and to my family.
But my story doesn’t end with loss.
I was first introduced to Relay For Life around the time my grandmother had cancer. Her love, and ultimately her loss, became the foundation of my commitment to the American Cancer Society.
Since then, I have never stopped my commitment to Relay For Life. I’ve laughed, cried and shared stories with so many—because cancer has touched us all.
The American Cancer Society is leading the fight through research, patient support and advocacy. The American Cancer Society needs our help.
Help us end cancer as we know it—for everyone.
