I'm doing my first relay(s)
I'm doing 3 relay's for the first time...I'm going to walk 1am to 7am, with my pack and trail runners...I'm wondering if anyone would like to sponsor me. I've never done this before, but I figure that I can survive a 6 mile canoe draggin, 48 mile Death Valley Hike, I can hike a track for 6 hours...

If you are interested in helping out in raising funds...email me and I will send out an address.

In advance...thanks. I'm walking for my Grandmother, who died of breast cancer and my little cousin, who will probably die of brain cancer very soon.

Well Hell
I'll send you $25.00.

I work for a company that sponsors a relay for life team every year. It is a blast! We raised over $4000.00 this year. I much prefer this type of charity over the United Way.

Walking to fight cancer? Everyone on this board should send a few nickels.

I am sorry about your cousin, stikmon.

Wait a minute....
Are you sure this Relay for life isn't a scam perpetuated by the drug companies?

Thank you Stikmon. I caught the first two posts one evening and then it disappeared on me. (Actually, I couldn't remember the title to find it).


I'll help. skuiicap@yahoo.com

Sorry, Stik, I missed this thread the first time around.

Last spring, Sass, SG and myself walked 60 miles in three days for the Avon Breast Cancer Foundation. TTers did a great job in helping us to raise lots of money. I just tried searching old threads for the totals...

Anyway - I'd really like to sponsor you. Please send instructinos via email to taragluski@comcast.net

Send the snailmail addy to birch and me too! I don't know how I missed this first time around.

My aunt is suffering cancer right now. She's forty-six and too young to be so sick. I'm all for handing money over to help find a cure and give care to those who can't afford it.

YOU, Stikmon are the one who deserves thanks, though. You're giving up your time, and energy, doing the relay and raising the money. Pat yourself on the back!! =)

stickmon - send me your snail mail addy too. too much cancer in my family to be ignored. all of my grandparents and one uncle have died from cancer. and i can't even count the number of skin cancer cases in my family on two hands anymore.

plus, my mom is seeing a surgeon next week because she found a lump. she's had them before, and they've never been cancerous, but its always scary.

thanks for your fundraising! i might be signing a song at the local relay for life through my sign language class. way cool!

you've got mail...

I must say, for a bunch of psychopaths...ya'll are a bunch of really nice people...To everyone that has spoken up today and asked for my address...Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to doing this (3 weekends in a row). I feel like I'll be touching lost, but not forgotten friends and family and remembering those still fighting the good fight. Thanks for all your support. I'll be glad to return the favor(s), upon the asking.
