Relay for Life

Hello all!
In case I missed you in my email--please look into this and consider helping in any way you can!

Hello Friends and Family,
I'm attaching a message with information about an event that I am helping with next month. As most of you know, my dad was diagnosed last fall with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. We are blessed, because he is already officially in remission. His successfull treatment probably wouldn't have been possible without the advances made in recent years by the American Cancer Society. However, as you know, those advancements aren't free, and they certainly aren't cheap. In addition to my dad, several other people whom I care a great deal for have had cancer at some point, and some have not been as blessed as my dad. I'm sure you also know several people who have been impacted by the disease in some way. Hopefully, with events like Relay for Life, we can eventually make the cancer diagnosis a thing of the past. Any help you can give to the team I have joined is greatly appreciated. There is more information in the attachment about the Relay for Life. The funds go to support general cancer research, not any specific cancer.
Please feel free to forward this email on to any friends, family members, coworkers or others who may be interested in supporting the American Cancer Society.
Thanks so much for your time!
Amanda Lamb

And now, for the attachment...

Can you believe that more than 1.3 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States this year? Those are staggering statistics, but there is hope. Each of us can do something to save lives and help those already fighting this disease. That's why I've decided to take action against cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society Relay For Life® event right here in my community.

Relay For Life is an overnight event that brings our community together to help support the American Cancer Society and its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. The Society works hard every day to prevent cancer and save lives by supporting groundbreaking research, affecting public policies that protect us from cancer, and educating people on how to prevent or detect cancer early. The Society helps people with cancer right here in our own community. And our efforts at Relay For Life can help the American Cancer Society to keep working toward a cancer-free future.

I want to invite you to show your support in the ongoing fight against cancer by joining us for this year's event. Please click on the link below for more information, including details on the inspirational Survivors' Lap and the moving Luminaria Ceremony. We hope to see you there! If you can't join us, will you please visit the site and make a donation to support our efforts? Either way, you will make a real difference in the lives of people facing cancer and in the lives of the people who love them. Thank you!
