  Notice that there is an INTERNAT'L Relay for Life (scroll down) that is held in MORE than 20 countries around the world. Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of your American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times. How You Can Use the Relay Logo Online How to Participate Relay offers something for everyone, from the newly diagnosed, to caregivers and friends, to long-term survivors.

  You're more 'n welcome, ma chere. I try to do as much as I can. And now I have more time since I can't work anymore. That last patient I took care of that died? She really died as a result of having cancer. I wear the pink ribbon. I can't do the walk, but I can enlist people or encourage them to join. My daughter does this relay almost every year for the past 5 yrs.

  Hugs,

  Thanks for the reminder Frannie. Last year I volunteered chair massages and foot massages for the Relay for Life fundraisers. I hadn't realized it was coming up already. I think I'll contact the same team and see if I can do it again.

  SadEmo, this is important enough that it deserves a new thread, possibly? It might get buried here.
