Announcements! Announcements!
Many things are happening in the land of Soaring With Faith and I wanted to share them all with you!
First things first!
We are Team Jessie Good Cells!
Jessie Good Cells has been Mom's "team" nickname since practically diagnosis day! We thought it was perfectly fitting for her! So, Team Jessie Good Cells will be Relaying on June 29th, 2012!
Relay for Life is an over-night relay style event where each team camps out around a track while members of each team taking turns lapping the track! This goes on for the whole duration of the event!
There will be a Survivors Lap. Mom will be joining this inspiring journey around the track with others who have fought the battle, or who may even be still fighting!
After dark, a Luminaria Ceremony is held to "honor people who have been touched by Cancer and to remember loved ones lost to the disease." Candles are lit inside bags filled with sand, with each bag bearing the name of the person touched by Cancer. A silent candlelit lap around the track will be made to honor each individual.
Lastly, there will be a Fight Back Ceremony.
At this time, we will make a personal commitment to take save lives by taking up the fight against Cancer.
So, now the big question! How can YOU take part of this magical event!
CLICK HERE!!! to view Team Jessie Good Cells' Event Page!
On our team page, you can do 1 of 3 things.
Come and relay with us!
Raise $ for the cause and fight the fight right along w/us!
Every dollar counts! Every single cent we raise goes directly to the American Cancer Society!
Make a donation to honor a loved one or someone you know that has been affected by Cancer.
Each luminaria represents the fight won or lost because of this disease, and I will be there to walk for them, to stand up for them and to honor them.
This is my first time ever taking part (also as Team Captain nonetheless...no pressure right!) in Relay for Life. I'm not sure what to expect, I'm not sure the best way to go about raising money or spreading the word (I'm not super social media savy to be honest with you), but I do know that I'm going to give it my all! If my Mom can fight through every single medical challenge that was put in front of her, I know I can overcome my shyness, and step out of my comfort zone and do this!! I don't have a lot of money to donate myself, but I can donate my time, I can donate my energy, and I can donate the strength needed to put in the many many laps around the track!
So please, if you can, make a donation, join our team, or honor a loved one with a luminaria!
We can do this together! I know it!
