Becca puts ACS as high priority within her life. Despite losing her mother at a young age, Becca has had a tremendous impact that I know would make her mother proud. Becca's passion is incomparable and I am honored to be able to nominate her to be a Voice of Hope.

Nan has an amazing story to tell! She lost both of her parents to cancer as a young adult. She has volunteered for the ACS for ~30 years, she has performed various roles within Relay on a local, state, regional and national level. She gets the big picture of Relay and the ACS. She's a staunch supporter of ACS CAN. She's a great speaker and she's gotten even better since her own diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma. I couldn't think of a better person to represent the ACS as a Voice of Hope!

Marilyn lives her life by the slogan "don't waste your cancer". She is an active fundraiser and loves to speak about her journey. I think she is starting to "outgrow" her role on her local ELT and would to involve her in the ACS in a new way.

Below is in her own words and written today (for ACS CAN share your story)--
Imagine all of your goals in life are set. You've hoped, dreamed, and fought so hard to position yourself to gain what you want. Then, you wake up after what you're told is a simple out patient procedure to find out you have cancer. A few weeks later you find out it is stage 3. Then, you find out chemo and radiation are necessary in order for you to survive. You just lost every goal and dream you had, and somehow you have to pick yourself back up.
On October 11, 2019 I was diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. A cancer that generally effects women over 60 was attacking my 28 year old body. There isn't much I can say that you don't know. It was scary, heartbreaking, and the worst moment of my life. Luckily I have a loving family that has guided me through every bit of this, and I can honestly say WE have faced my diagnosis together. My mother made it a commitment to attend every doctors visit, and sit with me for hours in every chemotherapy.
Then, COVID-19 hit. I can't speak for other people, but as a current patient hoping to make it to being a survivor, this pandemic is horrifying. I understand and value the precautions hospitals are taking, but as someone in my position nothing is scarier than facing cancer alone. My mom being with me during appointments and treatments is a small reminder that it isn't just me fighting. It helps provide clarity when chemo brain gets the best of me. She's someone who reminds me of the good we take from visits. Best of all, she is the constant countdown that remission is right around the corner. No one has ever hoped for cancer, and when you hear you have it, your mind goes dark. When patients have comfort in things or people - they don't want to lose that. Sometimes those people that now can't enter facilities with us, are the only ones reminding us to keep fighting. They help us know it's going to be okay. And, to be honest, sometimes they have more faith than we do. It takes their faith to get us through.

Jamie is an awesome. She has that ability to connect to an audience while sharing what Relay and ACS has meant to her. I asked her to speak at Opening Ceremonies this year and within 30 seconds of her speech, I just had that gut feeling she would be a great Voice.

She is an avid supporter of Relay as well as an area volunteer mentor for our area. I believe she is the leader who is most responsible for bringing Manteca back to being a successful Relay.

Voni is one of the most caring and giving person I know. She is a wonderful story teller and engages her audience . Voni has the unique experience of both a caregiver and survivor, and has extensive experience caring for people with cancer and other illnesses. Voni has dedicated her life to fundraising for several organizations as well as Relay For Life. Voni has become familiar with many programs that are offered by the American Cancer Society, and would be open to learning more about what The American Cancer Society is doing and where we are headed.

Her speaking ability is incredible. She has the ability in her tone while telling her story to grasp the heartstrings of her audience then leave them with a call to action.
This dedicated strong woman is on a mission to spread the word on services of the ACS. She bleeds purple.
