24+ Reasons to Relay
Sunday, April 3, 2011
By: Shelley Pettigrew

When I decided to go in the Relay it was to honour my Dad. After thinking about how many others in my family that have had cancer and died and those that have had it and beat it, and also those that are fighting the battle now.

There is over 24 people in my family that have had cancer and they are my reasons for doing this great Relay for Life. Hopefully sometime in the near future another family out there won't have to face this terrible disease that my family has faced. There has been pancreatic, breast, kidney, bowel, skin, bladder, esophagus, testicular, ovarian, cervical, leukemia and non Hodgkin lymphoma. So as you can see, there are a lot of different cancers out there that we need to get rid of. SO THIS IS MY REASON TO BE IN THE RELAY FOR LIFE
