Team Ella-minate Cancer
Welcome to team Ella-minate cancer!!! Hi everyone! Thanks so much for checking out my page and learning more about why I relay. Similar to so many of you reading this, my journey with relay has been very personal -- my grandpa had battled cancer almost my whole life, and my great grandma passed away from pancreatic cancer when I was in elementary school. These experiences affected me in many ways, especially since I didn't understand why my grandpa was constantly sick and battling through treatments when I was younger. As I have learned more and seen more family, friends, and loved ones battle cancer, I realized that I wanted to make a difference.

Why I Relay
I Relay not only to honor my grandpa and great grandpa, but to fight for a future where cancer treatments aren't unaffordable and a diagnosis doesn't have to take a huge emotional toll on families. I currently am in research labs that look at cancer immunotherapies, and hope that I can earn my MD-PhD in the future to contribute more to the innovative solutions to cancer diagnoses. I have been part of relay for life since high school, and each event gives me a chance to spread hope, remembarance, and inspire the next generation of relay participants :)

Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.
Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.
Since 1991 we have invested $3.43 billion in cancer research.
We have received over 360,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2023.
Cancer patients benefited from the ACS transportation support through our Road To Recovery program and transportation grants in 2023, with nearly 769,000 rides provided.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors 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.
