Every year that my friend Barbie Bowen has been doing Relay for Life I haven't been able to attend, except for this year :) I am so excited that I get to be a part of it this year and that I get to do this in memory of my Grandma Boots who passed away from Breast Cancer. At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. The events are held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Through the survivors' lap and the luminaria ceremony, we honor the people who have faced cancer first hand, and we remember those who have been lost to this disease. If you would like to help support us, please go to http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeHighPlainsDivision?pg=personal&fr_id=6481&fr_id=6481&px=4763069
