I Relay for my brave mother and grandfather (Pops). My mother has been diagnosed with cancer twice. Her most recent diagnosis was Stage 3 Neuroendocrine Cancer of the Colon in December of 2022. She was previously diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Breast Cancer in 2016. After a double Mastectomy, 8 rounds of chemo, and 30 rounds of radiation she was still not cancer-free. Despite everything that has happened to my mother, she has always held a strong-willed personality and has never let any of this get her down. Even in her current fight against cancer, she never lets it get in the way of being there for her family in so many ways. She is the strongest woman I know, and am lucky to be her daughter. Pops was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2019 that then metastasized to the brain. He went through chemo, and radiation and fought tooth and nail for 10 months before peacefully passing in 2020. He was able to be with his family every day until his last, and he continued to always stay true to himself. Pops loved the outdoors, his birdbath, and his family; he was the greatest grandfather anyone could ask for and I'm working to fundraise in their honor<3 |

Your support allows the American Cancer Society to continue:
Fighting cancer in city halls, statehouses, and Congress by elevating the patient voice to advance policy change through the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN)
Ensuring no one feels alone at any point on their cancer journey, from prevention to survivorship, and, for some, the end of life.
Investing in breakthrough science to find more - and better - treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve patients' quality of life.
Ensuring that all people have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive cancer. ACS and ACS CAN believe all people should have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from cancer regardless of how much money they make, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, gender identity, their disability status, or where they live.
Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

This isn’t what I wanted.
Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.
Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
