I know this is still several months off, but I wanted to make sure that all of you had time to participate in some way if you can.
Most of use know someone who has been touched in some way by cancer. Perhaps it is a family member, friend or co-worker. Many of us can remember a time, not so long ago, when a diagnosis of any type of this disease meant the "end of the line" for the victim. Even just 20 years ago, many of the detection techniques and treatments we now take for granted were unheard of. The American Cancer Society has been a large player in the war against the many forms of cancer. Now, what almost always used to be considered terminal, can today be successfully treated!
On March 26, 2010 the Relay for Life will take place in Zephyrhills, Florida at the Zephyrhills High School at the corner of 12th Street and County Road 54.
Relay teams are already forming and their goal is to raise funds for this organization and to celebrate the many people who are cancer survivors.
So, do not wait! If you would like to learn more about how you can donate, participate, and/or motivate, you can download the following brochure from last year's event that I have scanned into the computer in Adobe PDF format. Just click on the following link to get this brochure: Download Relay for Life Brochure0001
For specific information about this year's event you can also visit the Zephyrhills Relay for Life website by clicking on the following link: www.relayforlife.org/zephyrhillsfl There you can learn a lot of important news about this important event in our city.
