Why Random Relays
By Random Padar
I am a fortunate one.
I do not have cancer in my family history. My parents nor siblings have
died from cancer.
My second
year in SL I fell in love with a man who was a caregiver for his mother. I was introduced to RFL and decided
this is the one thing I can DO to support him and his mother.
My first year of
Relay left a huge impact on me. The testimonies of those fighting this terrible
disease, the passion to find a cure, the emotional stories of survival and loss
has made me even more determined to fight this battle along side my partner and
friends.
This is my 5th year as
captain of Harmony of Hope.
In one very
short year 2011-2012 I have had several very close friends diagnosed with
cancer. Just recently my closest friend was diagnosed with breast cancer which
has spread. She is in for a battle.
I on the other hand can fight for her. I can fight for all of you.
My
very first year of Relay left a huge impression on me. The testimonies of those fighting this
terrible disease, the passion to find a cure, the emotional stories of survival
and loss has made me even more determined to fight this battle along side my
partner and friends. I will continue to work and do the best I can to help bring an end to this cancer.
It is
Time For a Cure!

WHY I RELAY by Dianna Wycliffe
When I was a little girl, my grandmother got cancer. I heard the words, but I didn't know what it meant. The adults whispered around us kids. All I knew was my Nana was very sick, and soon after she died. I knew Cancer was bad, Cancer kills and it took my Nana from me.
A few years later, my uncle got very sick and died, I told my younger cousin, it's cancer, it took our Nana too. She cried for her Daddy and I cried for my Uncle. Still not knowing what it meant.
Several more years later my other uncle was diagnosed with Leukemia, what's that I asked as a teenager. I was told, it too is cancer. Cancer was wiping out my family! I had to know more and do something! But what I asked myself.
When I was 23 my beloved grandfather was also diagnosed with Cancer, from a job he worked at when my mother was a little girl. AGAIN, here comes cancer! It was 1990, what could I do?
Today, I'm 45 and lost my mother April 4th of cancer. I relay for my Mom, My grandparents, my Uncles, I relay for my children, I relay for myself, I relay for YOU! I relay so a little girl doesn't have to grow up with that word stuck in her head while her family dies from it,
IT'S TIME FOR A CURE!
LETS BEAT IT, IT WE CAN DO IT!
