Why Do You Relay?

It's the holiday season, and people will be celebrating with their friends and family. But with the good things come the bad, and we must cope with the bad as well as we can--with good memories. And while we're remembering the good memories, we know it's because you and those you love are spending your holiday without a loved one. One that you have lost to cancer.

Cancer touches us all. We've heard this statement a million times, yet it never loses it's meaning. This is why we need to remember why we Relay. Everyone has their own reasons…whether it's because they're a survivor, caregiver, volunteer, friend, health care provider, etc. I relay each year for many reasons, as I'm sure everyone does, but every year one theme comes up. "Why Do You Relay?" I have been asked this question, answered it and asked it to others. Sometimes our answers are the same, other times they change due to a loss or victory.

I challenge everyone to ask themselves that very question: Why Do You Relay? And I hope that with whatever answer you come up with, you decide to get involved with your local RFL event and make a difference to someone else's life or even your own.
