Relay For Life

I try to do the relay for life with my family as much as possible. Our constant moving around and Widmar's insane schedule does not always allow. This year we will not be able to make it to Texas for the relay for life because we will be on our way to NY. I am however still apart of the team and am hosting a fundraiser to raise money for the american cancer society. Before I tell you what the fundraiser is, let me tell you why I do the relay for life.

First, its fun! If you have never done a relay for life event you really should. It's a blast! You get a team together and you take turn walking all night long. There is entertainment, games, food, lots of fun had by all.

The real reason I do it is because cancer has affected my family personally. I posted awhile back about my feelings on cancer and how awful I think it is and how I find myself questioning God frequently about why people are diagnosed with cancer because it is so ugly. My mom had ovarian cancer and I believe we are coming up on 15 years of her being cancer free! GO MOM!!! I walk for my mom! I raise money for my mom and all the other people out there that i know that have been affected by cancer in some way. (which I know a lot of people that have been) Next year I can guarantee that I will be out walking in Watertown NY for the relay for life (maybe this year too if we make it in time).

Here's how you can help. GET INVOLVED is number 1. Find a relay for life near you. Form a team and raise money.

Ways to help: as most of you know I sell Thirty-One. I have set up a few things to help raise money for the Relay for Life Team

1. I am selling raffle tickets 1 for $5 and 3 for $10. I will raffle off the Exclusive Hostess Rolling Tote in Black. You can purchase tickets anytime between now and March 30.

2. Any order that is placed under the Relay for Life Party on my website I will donate my entire paycheck from that party to The team. If you place an order you get your name put in a hat for free products as well. Go here to Order:

3. You can donate straight to the Relay for Life Team. If you do this way I will put tickets in the hat for the rolling luggage. (this makes it easy for you to take part in the raffle if you live far away. Same applies 2 for $5 or 5 for $10 (and up from there)

Thank you in advance for your support! I am hoping one day there will be a cure for some of these cancers. Remember to keep those who are fighting cancer in your prayers!

Today I find myself thinking of my grandparents. I have lost 3 grandparents to cancer. One was just this last year. I miss them with all of my heart and they are another reason I participate in the relay for life.
