The Sonoma County Probation Department has participated in the Relay for Life since 2009.  The team was formed after the sudden loss of our dear friend and co-worker, Richard Atkinson.  Since then we have continued to watch the list grow as more and more of our co-workers, family members, and friends get diagnosed with cancer.  We continue to walk in the Relay For Life to honor all of the people who have had to battle this terrible disease, remember those who have lost their battle, fight back against a disease that has taken so much from us, and to offer up support to anyone in our community who is affected by cancer.  And that’s why we need your support!  

 

This past year has been such a challenge for cancer patients, as COVID-19 has put them at risk attacking already weakened immune systems, delaying cancer treatments, and closing many clinical trials. We know that at times it can feel hopeless, but because of the impact cancer has had on our lives, we are doing something about it. Any funds we raise will help sustain critical research and patient services in this difficult time. Believe us, every dollar really does count, so we’re asking for your help. Please donate today, because together we can accomplish anything!
