This year I will again be participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life on June 19-20th. My Reason to Relay is in memory of my father who lost his battle with cancer 6 years age, to join people around the world in celebrating those who have survived cancer, and supporting the lifesaving mission of the American Cancer Society. Please support me in the fight against cancer by making a donation at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/rebecca.lesaffre

For those of you unfamiliar withe the event, the Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people to:

• Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
• Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people who have walked alongside people battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
• Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease
