I'm an American Cancer Sociey Relay for Life Team Member Again! Pay It Forward
I'll be part of the American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life" this April in Covina, California. I've started my own campaign for my team and kicked it off with a $25 donation. I will be purchasing special items for sale at the event as well, at my cost, to help raise money also.
Here is my team page if you would like to see what it's all about and/or donate:

For those of you who are not familiar with these events, they're really great.
Not only does it raise money for cancer research and benefits to those with cancer, but it is a special recognition to those who have both fallen to cancer and those who have survived it.
I have had family members die from cancer, and I also have a sister and many friends who are cancer survivors and have overcome such unbelievably difficult chemotherapy and radiation treatments, along with surgery, and are here with us today with all of their great energy and life!!
I want to pay special tribute this year to all of my cancer-surviving friends. Going through cancer treatment is so hard, and you have to tap into your most inner strength to get through it.
These are some of the heros I have been blessed to still have in my life:
- Jennie Zimmerman (my sister)
- Ellen Beal
- Mark Beal
- Sharon Rollins
- Phil Kaler
- Jean Szafraniec
- Fran Messinger
I will be adding to the list as I know there are numerous times when I have a brain fart and can't remember things like this on the spot!!
