"Why I Relay" by Cathy10 Longoria

Hi there, my name is Cathy10 Longoria.

 

I'm participating in the Second Life 2014 Relay For Life.

I am a proud member of "Harmony of Hope".

I relay in honor of myself as a recent cancer survivor, my father who is currently fighting lymphoma, and my "Fabulous 5" co-workers.

I have colleagues and friends who fought and won their battle with cancer.

 

 

This is my first year participating in RFL in SL and Committee.
I have relayed for real world relay events, but never took it seriously until 2013.
My personal battle with thyroid cancer was temporary, but I will have a few minor challenges for the rest of my life. I am glad their is a cure for thyroid cancer.

My father has lymphoma and his battle began in March, 2013. I walk alongside him in his journey with the rest of my family.

My mother is his caregiver and was involved in every step of my journey. She, along with other caregivers, are amazing. My admiration for her magnified ten-fold for her strength to help her daughter through cancer and now her husband in less than three years.

During my time with cancer, four of my co-workers fought their battle with cancer. We are known as the "Fabulous 5". One lost her battle with cancer and the rest of us won our battles.

I relay in honor of myself as a recent cancer survivor, my father who is currently fighting lymphoma, and my "Fabulous 5" co-workers.

I am also the Area Lead for Sponsorships on the Public Relations Committee for Relay for Life in Second Life. Donations and sponsorships are much appreciated...good way to put your Why I Relay? into action.

"Those who have suffered, understand suffering, and therefore extend their hand."

Why I Relay by TS Darrow

This is my 7th year of relaying in Second Life.

I relay because this Journey of Promise is not over.

I will continue the fight until no one ever has to hear the words "you have cancer".

I relay for those who cannot and for every hero who lost their battle.

I proudly relay with my team Harmony of Hope.

I am also honored to relay with my strong spirited wife who is my inspiration.

We will fight until there is a cure!

Why I Relay by ﾌυﾚ乇丂

I participate in Relay For Life for many reasons. The main reasons behind why I relay are a 14yr old, 13yr old and a 5yr old.

I Relay in hopes that someday the horrors of cancer will be merely a memory when they are adults. So that they, my children, will not have to live in fear.

I participate in Relay For Life to honor the memory of my dear Uncle Charles P. Low. Without whom I would not have the deep burning fire I have to work my tail off every year to help raise awareness and funds to help fight for a cure.

I participate in Relay For Life to honor those who struggle with this horrible disease in one form or another everyday.

I Relay to honor those who are survivors, who are or have been caregivers, who lost their battle or won it...

I Relay for my family, for my neighbor, for the future generations and most of all for YOU! Each and every one of you... & I will continue to Relay until there is no longer a reason.
