Relay for Life


Last night we participated in Relay for Life. Relay for Life is an annual event to help raise money for the American Cancer Society. This money goes to cancer research and to provide health screenings and mammograms for those who cannot afford them. Brett, Aubrey, and I walked in memory of my grandfather who passed away last May. Poppy was a wonderful man who truly left a legacy of generosity.

Please consider participating in the fight against cancer by joining a local Relay for Life team or by donating to one of the following:
1. Relay for Life-- Lee County's Relay for Life website is http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=15747
2. the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center-- http://www3.ccc.uab.edu/getinvolved/donate.html
3. Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Capitol of Texas Triathlon-- http://www.captextri.com/

Please continue praying for the many people who have cancer. Chances are that each of you know at least one person who is affected by cancer. Pray also for the doctors and researchers who are working to find a cure for this disease.
