Relay for Life

If you haven't heard already, Josh and I have put together a Relay for Life team. Relay is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Our event is THIS FRIDAY night. Our team will join others and walk around Plunkett Park at UCO from 7pm to 7am. Cancer doesn't rest and neither will we!!!

Each year, across the nation, this event brings together entire communities to take part in the fight against cancer. That event is the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®. It’s a time and place where people come to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against a disease that touches too many lives.

It’s not just an opportunity to celebrate, remember, and fight back your involvement will help the American Cancer Society work toward a mission of eliminating cancer as major health issue and will support much-needed services in your community. Thanks in part to the donations from Relay For Life and other events, the Society is saving lives, helping those touched by cancer, and empowering people to fight this disease all over the world.

If you are in our area, please come see us (on the Southwest side of UCO). Bring your families. There will be lots of activities going on, including an area for the kids. All moneys raised that night will go right to the American Cancer Society. If you are not in our area and want to help, please go to this website and make a donation or learn more about Relay for Life.

We truly appreciate any support you can give to this great cause. We all know someone who has been devastated by this disease. Let's work together to stop it!
