Anchorage Relay for Life

For those of you who don't know, I work at the Anchorage REI store on Northernlights. 



I LOVE working there for so many reasons and this post is dedicated to one of those reasons.  REI is having an employee team at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life this year and I am going to be the Team Capitan.  A group of friends and I made our own team and did the Relay last year, and it was a blast.  I am so excited this year to be doing it with the REI team. 

I don't think I know a single person who has NOT been affected by cancer in some way or another.  PLEASE donate either your money or time to this cause!  You can donate at my personal page at this website

Thanks for reading!

American Cancer Society Relay For Life

My Reason to Relay

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is more than just an event to me. It is my personal opportunity to help save lives from cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society.

It's amazing to think that millions of people will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Somebody close to us may be one of them.

But, by taking part in Relay, I am helping the American Cancer Society save lives by:

  • Helping people stay well by helping them take steps to prevent cancer or detect it early, when it’s most treatable
  • Helping people get well by being in their corner around the clock to guide them through every step of their cancer experience
  • Finding cures by funding groundbreaking research that helps us understand cancer’s causes, determine how best to prevent it and discover new ways to cure it
  • Fighting back by working with lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and rally communities worldwide to join the fight

Please support my efforts by making a donation or by joining my Relay For Life team. Together, we have the power to help create a world where cancer can no longer claim another year of anyone’s life.
