The time is approaching again for the ninth annual American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Madison.  The relay will be held on April 18th and 19th.  They are already estimating to have about 500 participants in the relay.  The proceeds will go to help aid local cancer survivors. 

Madison Alabama Relay for Life


The relay works by teams of ten to fifteen members taking turns for twelve hours walking and camping out overnight.  Each participant is encouraged to raise at least $100.  This is a big event for the American Cancer Society in that around one in every five dollars raised comes from the relay for life event. 

There is still time to join this worthwhile event.  Even if you cannot organize a team in time for the event, individuals are welcome to join as well.  To participate in the relay, call 1-800-ACS-2345 or call Celia Werner at 535-1088.

Kimberly, We did the camping over night at the field with the kids and took tunes to walk all night. This event is hearth breaking, but at the same a lot of fun.

Hi Kimerly,

This is such a worthwhile event, we've participated in this one as a family ourself. It's a great thing for the kids to participate too. Cancer has impacted so many of us, we all need to help one another.

Kimberly, I'm doing the relay for life here in Spring that same weekend.  I guess it must be national; I didn't realize that.  I can't belive I got talked in to staying up all night but it is for a good cause.

Lynda and Marchel, it is a very worthwhile event.  I hope the cities that are sponsoring the event that weekend get a good turn out!  I don't think there are many people that can say that they do not know anyone that has been affected by cancer in one way or another.
