Why do I Relay?

I am proud to be a cancer survivor and as such want to help all cancer survivors and patients celebrate more birthdays. My grandfather, uncle, father-in-law, close friends and so many more have been afflicted or lost to cancer. I know many who fight and live with cancer every day. I have seen the smiling faces of children with cancer at Dana Farber and the looks of horror on their parents' faces. Cancer could affect your parent, grandparent, son, daughter, friend, neighbor, co-worker or even yourself. Cancer doesn't sleep and isn't prejudice. I want to help and hope to someday find a cure.

I am walking in the American Cancer Society's Peabody Relay for Life for the 2nd year as the Team Captain of the Mantle Cell Marauders. I walk to give back. I walk because I care. I walk because some can't walk for themselves. I walk to show support. I walk because I am a survivor and want others to be as well.

Please help me, my team, and the American Cancer Society to find a cure. Help us to celebrate more birthdays. Help everyone who is a caregiver, provider, patient or survivor. Research is so crucial and we can't do it alone.

Donations can be time or money. No amount is too small and you could save a life. Copy and paste the link below to read about the event and help if you can.

Thank you and cheers,
Adam
