Relay for Life


Why Do I Relay?

I relay for Pop.
I relay for Grandma Peggy.
I relay for Marilyn ‘Malo’.

I relay for the countless others who have fought the good fight.

I relay for me.
I relay for you.
I relay for my family.
I relay for your family.
I relay for my children.
I relay for your children.

I relay so that maybe my children will know a world without cancer.
If not my children, the maybe my grandchildren will know a cancer-free world.

I relay to be proactive.
I relay for awareness.
I relay to encourage.
I relay for hope.
I relay for a promise.
I relay for change.
I relay to make a difference.
I relay for the strength in numbers.
I relay for support.

I relay in honor of survivors.
I relay in memory for those who lost the war against this monster.

This is why I Relay.
Why do you Relay?
