I Relay for Mom

Can I share my story?

I Relay for Mom.

Two years ago, just about this same time of year, my mother, Beverly Thomas, began having physical complications, so much so she went to the doctor. Then began a short series of test that came to a startling conclusion: Cancer.
We've never dealt with cancer in our family, but now it was staring us in the face. Dad on the road as a truck driver, and mom finding anyway she could to keep her heart encouraged, and her spirits lifted.
As our family walked through this process, I discovered that the one who kept us from being anxious or frightened through the summer leading up to her surgery WAS MOM.
As she endured additional tests, doctors appointments, and the 5 month journey to her surgery date, I never saw her cry, get angry, nothing! Just strength, courage, love for her family, and determination that her life would go on.

And it has.

This year is her 2 year "birthday" for being cancer free. We were on of the blessed families.

But that is not everyone's story.
This year, I am helping save lives from cancer by taking part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®, and I’m hoping you will support my efforts with a donation.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® is a life-changing event that gives people in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. Relay For Life® raises much-needed funds and awareness to help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer.

Thanks to your support, the American Cancer Society can:

• Help people stay well by helping them to take steps to prevent cancer or detect it early, when it’s most treatable.
• Help people get well by being in their corner around the clock to guide them through every step of their cancer experience
• Find 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
• Fight back by working with lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and rally communities worldwide to join the fight

Each of us has our own reasons for caring about the fight against cancer … whatever your reasons, I hope you’ll choose to make a difference by making a donation online to support my efforts. I’m so grateful to have people like you in my life who want to see an end to cancer in our lifetime. Together we can save lives.

Thank you and I will keep you updated on my progress.
