We plan to have a 30 minute program in the middle of the kickoff where we'll welcome everyone and state our purpose for gathering, introduce and a cheer for each Relay team, and listen to an uplifting/inspiring story. The Voices for Hope speaker would be the uplifting story part of the program and would have 5-10 minutes to speak. Denise has been recommended to us by our ACS area manager and was a team participant on one of our new teams, so we think of her as part of our Relay family. We hope she can join us for the entire 2 hours.

04/11/2020  I am a VOH alumni and I continue to share my powerful and unique story with others but I'd like to suggest or maybe you guys suggest something else for myself to share with everyone relating to my book. I recently just published a book late December (2019) and it's sold over 200 copies so far. It's a memoir in honor of my twin sisters passing. Passed at 26 years old four years ago with Colon Cancer. Through the book it talks about our first years in an orphanage (not knowing we were sisters at the time and grew up as best friends) and through our early, adult and late adult lives and ends with Vera's experience through Cancer and as well as my experience and thoughts as a care giver. For more info I have below the direct link: Finding Faith and Hope: a Memoir https://www.amazon.com/dp/1674835051/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rdJKEbD2PBJEV Half of the proceeds go to the American Cancer society and I'd like to continue to share any ideas or through ya that might be helpful to promote this book more! It's been a wonderful experience creating/writing it. Please let me know! All the best, Nadya
07/05/2021  Looking for Opening Ceremony and/or Luminaria Ceremony Speakers. It will be our 25th Relaying Anniversary this year 💜
