Destination Cure
Destination Cure has been involved in Relay for Life since 2007. We have two personal reasons as to why we Relay: In 2005, Sharon (our Co Captain) her son, Scotty, had been battling cancer. They attended the relay event that year, and Scotty got to walk his survivor lap. Sharon promised Scotty that she would always be involved with Relay for Life in honor of him. Sadly, in 2006, Scotty passed away at the age of 25 due to his long battle with cancer. In 2007, Sharon started a Relay for Life team in memory of Scotty. The team name was, “Scotty’s Family and Friends.” To this day, Sharon has kept her promise to Scotty - her and her husband, Scott, continue to relay in memory of their son. Taylor (our other Co Captain) has been involved in Relay for Life since 2008. Her reason for getting involved was to support Sharon and Scott, and help their team fundraise in memory of Scotty. In September of 2008, cancer presented itself to another family member. Taylor's eight month old nephew, Bryson, was diagnosed with brain cancer. He went through two years of chemo treatments and faced several surgeries. As of now, all scans show stable results. Bryson celebrated his 13th birthday January 2021! By 2009, several of our loved ones had faced cancer. “Scotty’s Family and Friends” became known as “Destination Cure” because our prayer is for a cure. Relay for Life is a time to remember and honor those who have passed away due to cancer, and to celebrate their life. It is a time to celebrate those who are now cancer free. It is a time to encourage and support those who are currently fighting cancer. It is a time to recognize and thank those who have been or are currently Caregivers to their loved ones who have or have had cancer.

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.
